Pigs on the Wing: A Tribute to Pink Floyd Live at Spokane's Bing Theater
Get ready for a night of Pink Floyd nostalgia as Portland-based tribute band Pigs on the Wing makes their way to Spokane's Bing Theater this Saturday. With two original members, guitarist/vocalist Jason Baker and keyboardist/vocalist Matt Jones, the eight-member band has been captivating audiences since their formation in 2006. Known for their impeccable musicality, Pigs on the Wing started by performing Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" in small Portland venues, showcasing their unique talent and passion for the iconic band.
Drummer Bryan Fairfield, who joined the band in 2014, brings his lifelong love for percussion to the group. Despite living in Long Beach, Washington, Fairfield makes the trek to Portland for rehearsals, where the band fine-tunes their sound and immerses themselves in the music. Drawing inspiration from Pink Floyd's groundbreaking albums like "Dark Side of the Moon" and "Wish You Were Here," Pigs on the Wing pays homage to the legendary band while infusing their own energy and style into the performances.
With a deep respect for Pink Floyd's legacy, Pigs on the Wing aims to honor the band's music while adding their own creative flair. Unlike traditional tribute bands, they focus on delivering a powerful musical experience rather than imitating the band's appearance. As they celebrate their 20th anniversary tour, the band will showcase Pink Floyd's 1977 album "Animals" in the first set, followed by a mix of classic Floyd hits in the second set.
Having performed at the Bing Theater multiple times, Pigs on the Wing is no stranger to Spokane's music scene. Fans can expect a night filled with timeless Pink Floyd tunes and a dynamic live performance that stays true to the band's spirit. Whether you're a die-hard Floyd fan or simply appreciate great music, don't miss the opportunity to experience Pigs on the Wing's electrifying tribute to one of rock's greatest bands.
