Dutch interviews Spark Joy Music owner Ben Cannon.

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!   Shout outs in this episode include:  Dietrich Jon;  Chris Burch;  Musical Family Tree;  Square Cat Vinyl;  Indy In-Tune and Radiothon;  Mina & The Wondrous Flying Machine;  Kammy’s Kause;  and a special thanks to 800lb Gorilla for the use of their tune, Radboy, from their new album to end today’s show.  Be sure to catch those cats live! 

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. ALL funds raised are donated directly to the 4p- Support Group.

We begin Part II of Radiothon 2017 at Alley's Alehouse with a pleasant interruption but always appreciated visit from Mr. Jerry Connor of The Bier Brewery.  Jerry joins the conversation with Fountain Square's Luke Nelson as we dig into craft beer, the woes of canning, and a little cans vs. bottle debate.  Next up, a few of the greats of the Indy music scene, Mr. Jeff Kelly and Eric Pedigo join to talk about how their scene has been transforming over the recent years, what they are currently up to, as well as an odd Wolf Man Jack impression from Jeff.  A not-so-sober Dougy Fresh and Pauly G. take the show out with some bizarre banter about allergies and radish aliments. Thanks again to Mr. Darrin Snider of Indy-In Tune and Benjamin Cannon of Spark Joy Music for inviting us out to participate in this great event.    Cheers!

She had so much fun with the Pigs last week, Holly Joy Cole of New Holland Brewery graced us with her presence one again this week as we got the inside scoop from Benjamin Cannon on his new company, Spark Joy Music.

Whenever one mentions Dragon’s Milk around the Pigs, we tend to get a little excited.  So when we had the chance to sit with Holly Joy Cole of New Holland Brewery, we were overjoyed.  Holly joined the boys at the round table at Alley’s Alehouse to talk, not just about the wonder that is Dragon’s Milk, but about all the fantastic brews and spirits that can be found at the brewery or on the shelf at your favorite party store. She also brought with her a few New Holland brews to sample (Monkey King farmhouse and Full Circle kolsch) while she gave us some of the backstory of New Holland as well as some of the upcoming events such as the Porter’s Perfect Pint which is happening next Saturday, Oct 1st, and the Filthy Pumpkin which going down at Chathum Tap in Fishers on Oct 25th.  Located near the shores of Lake Michigan in the small but beautiful Dutch city of Holland, Michigan, New Holland Brewing has been a staple in the beer scene since 1996, and they have just opened their new distillery and brewpub in Grand Rapids, Michigan, New Holland Brewing The Knickerbocker.    Also joining us this week was our good buddy, Benjamin Cannon of Spark Joy Music, who’s episode for Friday Night Confessions releases next Friday, September 30th.  There was also the late, special guest appearance, straight out of the Pig Pen, of Mr. Riley Wunnenberg.   It was a special night to celebrate the birthday of our own, Hunter Blind Pig, with some great beer and laughs.  We can’t wait to do more with Holly and New Holland Brewing in the future.   We’re not certain yet, but we may have coined their new tag line for 2017.  You’ll have to listen and find out what it is.  Many shout outs in this episode, including Black Acre Brewing Co, Central State Brewing, Jeremy Nicely and Evil Czech Brewery and Public House, Urban Chestnut, and the Fiddler’s Hearth. (The groovy track behind Nico’s Open Stage commercial you hear on each weekly episode is from that cool Indy band, Whoa!Tiger, who will be playing tomorrow night, September 24th, only at Alley’s Alehouse.)    http://www.newhollandbrew.com/ http://www.alleysalehouse.com/
