Pigs on the Wing return to the Gesa Power House Theatre on Friday, November 1, the first show of their two-night residency.
Pigs on the Wing’s 2023-2024 tour, “Echoes of Pink Floyd”, is a second act to the band’s previous year’s tour. As before, the Echoes of Pink Floyd tour will feature a new selection of the very best of classic-era Pink Floyd cuts organized into 2 distinct sets. Rather than performing a single album from start to end, expect to hear the band focus on their favorite sections of the classic albums, including hits, deep cuts, and the band’s trademark willingness to explore the sonic space in experimental improvisation. Fans can expect an immersive visual show in a don’t – miss event for any Pink Floyd fan!
From its garage-rock roots in 2006 as a one-off show to full-album productions to performing for
thousands of fans each year, 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 members of Pigs on the Wing 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 balance 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).
