The Friday show will feature the band’s “Pink Floyd Retrospective,” a meticulously curated collection of the best classic-era Pink Floyd cuts organized into two distinct sets.
From its garage-rock roots in 2006 as a one-off show to full-album productions to performing for thousands of fans yearly, Portland-based Pigs on the Wing have built a loyal following dedicated to the band’s high-energy take on Pink Floyd’s music. All Pigs on the Wing members are seasoned veterans of the Pacific Northwest rock scene and are unapologetic in bringing their wide-ranging musical influences to the table.
Setting the band aside from other tribute rock acts, Pigs on the Wing balances a decidedly un-tribute-like attitude towards the music with precision to detail and a deep understanding of the importance of Pink Floyd’s music in the lives of fans everywhere.
Amongst the band’s accomplishments, Pigs on the Wing has in recent years featured full album performances of The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall and was recently ranked the #4 Pink Floyd tribute worldwide. None are bigger fans of the work of Pink Floyd than the members of Pigs on the Wing themselves, a dedication which has been foremost in the band’s approach since the very beginning.
Pigs on the Wing is Eric Welder (bass/vocals), Matt Jones ( keys/vocals), Bryan Fairfield (drums), Holly Brooks (vocals), Dave Lindenbaum ( guitar/vocals), Jason Baker (guitar/vocals), Matt Sulikowski (saxophone).
