Event sponsor, Benjamin Cannon, of Spark Joy Music kicks off Part II of this special episode from the Hops & Hertz Festival at the Fountain Square Brewery. Ben works his way through the details of this incredible, inaugural, live music and craft beer festival dedicated to discovering great city talent, while putting up with a slightly inebriated Cowboy. The boys discuss their own recent discoveries in music, where they go to find music today, the Manson Family, and Jack White(the Jamie Jackson of Indy). Jeff Kelly joins the round table once again, along with one the best guitar pickers in the city, John Fell, to talk about The Graveyard Shift. Jeff also tells all you need to know about knitting(maybe too much). Fountain Square partner, Jeff Gibson, has a brew with the boys to tell all that’s going on and what to look forward to at the brewery. The day is rounded out nicely with the sweaty clan from Mr. Clit and the Pink Cigarettes after a rousing set on the inside stage. A great day of live music and always great beer at Fountain Square Brewery. The boys can’t wait to cover this fantastic event again next summer. Cheers!

The Pigs hit the airwaves to sponsor and cover a fantastic live music and craft beer festival at Fountain Square Brewery, the second of five Discovery Music events sponsored by Spark Joy Music and Musical Family Tree. Non stop, high energy talent hit the stages at noon and didn’t stop till after midnight. We started off the day with a quick visit from Grover, followed by Aaron from Musical Family Tree. We were all a bit ashamed to not know more about this non-profit organization doing so much for the music scene in and around Indy. Aaron educates us on the Family Tree as well as a little about her own band and where they can be found. Fountain Square’s, Luke Nelson joins the boys once again to tell us about the beer on hand at the event, as well as one made especially for Jackie Martinez, and what’s brewing in the upcoming future. We end Part One with a very special visit from Mr. Jared Hiner, the man behind Kammy’s Kause. We know all our fans in Indy know all about this incredible yearly event, but for those outside Indy not familiar yet, Jared goes into great detail about his organization, the upcoming event to benefit families dealing with 4p-, also known as Wolf-Hirschhorn Syndrome (WHS), an extremely rare chromosome disorder, and his beautiful daughter, Kammy, who is the inspiration for it all. The Pigs were invited to cover the 14th Annual Kammy’s Kause, the two day music festival coming up on August 18th - 20th at the Fortville American Legion Park. This year’s event includes: Kammy’s Kidzone, Kammy’s Ride, a petting zoo, pony rides, face painting, balloon artists, bounce houses, live art, food trucks, 27 midwest bands, silent auKtion, merchandise, great people, free camping (tents only) and parking.

The Pigs were honored to cover Indy In-Tune’s fifth annual Spring Radiothon, this year in support of Joy's House and the Alzheimer's Association of Greater Indiana with a goal of bringing music to those living with Alzheimer's. It was a perfect day whether you wanted to chill to the acoustic acts outside on the patio or get down with the electric acts on stage inside Alley’s Alehouse. A big thanks to Mr. Darrin Snider of Indy In-Tune for inviting us to cover this beertastic, all day, live music event. Cowboy, Dougy Fresh, and Pauly G. get the beers flowing early for this one as they kick things off with one of the Radiothon sponsors, Ben Cannon of Spark Joy Music, and Luke Nelson of Fountain Square Brewery. Lots going on with Spark Joy this year, and the Pigs will be covering some of their big summer live music events at the Fountain Square Brewery. (Tune in for more info!) Joy’s House Program Director, Candace Preston, and Program Manager, Corrina Thompson, joined the boys for a brew and some laughs as they told them a little about themselves and what brought them to Joy’s House along with the inside scoop of all the great things Joy’s House does and how and where anyone can donate. Luke sits with the boys once again to round out Part One of our show. He gives some highlights on some of the fine brews being made as well as the path that led him to Fountain Square Brewery. The show ends as they get a visit from funny man, The Bier Brewery’s Jerry Connor. They’ll pick up Part Two of Radiothon show with Jerry and Luke. Stay Tuned! And we must thank Indy’s own, The Dead Squirrels, for the use of their upcoming hit tune, What Love Is from their new album. Where can you get your hands on a copy, you ask?

The boys enjoy an evening of beer an banter at Alley’s Alehouse. Jordan makes his return after being stuck in a sexual paralysis the last few weeks as they discuss what’s been going down and what’s coming up as well as a walk down memory lane of their recent trip to Memphis. Tune in to hear about what’s coming up at Alley’s from Chef Rod’s amazing cuisine to Niko’s Open Stage hosted by Mr. Nick Wengler. Nick also just kicked off his new Studio Live Indy all original music “Imagine” series on Friday night’s at Alley’s. Laughter ensues as the beer and whiskey flows. Some tasty suds traveled around the table this evening including George Dickel Rye, Taxman Brewing Company’s Barrel Aged Deduction, Evil Czech’s Bigsby, The Bier Brewery’s Jadada, and Dogfish Head’s Beer To Drink Music To. You learn how our mascot, Professor Hamilton Pigsby is doing, Pat’s hatred for hippies, how Jordon loves the dickel, Cowboy’s obsession with dark hallways, Dougy Fresh’s serenade in Memphis, and Clark Griswold sits in from the Pig Pen and gives some overly expressive beer reviews. Cheers! Thanks to The Dead Squirrels for the use of their tunes to start and end the show coming from their upcoming fifth studio album.
