Pigs on the Wing is fearless when experimenting with sound in the proper temperament of psychedelia” – David Victor, TOP TEN PINK FLOYD TRIBUTE BANDS 2/27/23
“Capturing what made Pink Floyd iconic is a hard thing to do, and Pigs on the Wing come as close as anyone we’ve heard. That looming mystique, that inscruta grandiosity……Those qualities are alive and well with Pigs on the Wing – Adam McKinney, OLY ARTS 5/10/17
From its garage-rock roots in 2006 as a one-off show, to full-album productions and performance for thousands of fans each year, Portland Oregon 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 NW rock scene and are unapologetic in bringing the wide-ranging musical influences to the table. Setting the band aside from other tribute-rock act Pigs on the Wing balance a decidedly un-tribute-like attitude towards the music with the precision and authenticity expected by Pink Floyd fans. 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 recently ranked the #4 Pink Floyd tribute worldwide. None are bigger fans of the work of Pi Floyd than the members of Pigs on the Wing themselves, and the band takes their role as stewards of the music seriously – something immediately evident in the bands’ immersive performances. 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! 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
