Recently we’ve been dusting off the old recipe book and cooking up a new type of live show that’s juicier than yo mumma’s peach pie. Take one world renowned beatboxer and an internationally awarded songwriter, add one story telling twelve string guitarist and a sound healing vocalist. Combine onstage with a liberal sprinkling of herbs. The result is Jamie Macdowell and Tom Thum, T.J.Quinton and Ahliya Kite live onstage together together for a two hour show of improvisation, songs, beats, harmony and stories. Some stories will be relevant, other will not. After a month of touring as separate artists, this is a unique opportunity to watch the group come together and deliver their own style of entertainment and fun.

Australia’s favourite bluegrass funsters The Pigs are known worldwide for their combination of super-catchy original tunes and foot-stomping ‘Piggified’ cover versions. Crashing through musical genres like a runaway tractor, the Pigs’ latest album, The Great Bluegrass Swindle marries superb musicianship with a distinctly Australian sense of humour – and hints at the uniquely bent energy of The Pigs’ exceedingly popular live shows.

For over 8 years now, The Pig Family has been stepping out onto the big festival stages around Australia, barefoot and bewildered. Meanwhile the band’s YouTube Channel has seen more than 400 000 hits, with their Single Ladies video becoming something of a sensation (also seen on ABC’s Spicks and Specks and Australia’s Got Talent). In 2013 The Pigs’ Great Bluegrass Swindle rolls on, with more Australian dates, followed by a return to Germany and Denmark.
