PORT TOWNSEND — “Pigs on the Wing: A Tribute to Pink Floyd” will fill the Highway 20 Road House, 2152 W. Sims Way, with the “Dark Side of the Moon” sound Saturday night.
Pigs on the Wing is an outfit born in 2006 after what members thought was a one-off performance of the “Dark Side” album.
It’s still one of singer-guitarist Jason Baker’s favorite works ever.
Pink Floyd’s 1973 album “has moments of deep intensity and tranquility
. . . from atmospheric jamming to tight pop-song structure,” he said.
The quality of the music, coupled with the connection it gives the band and the audience, keeps Baker and his fellow players coming back.
On Saturday night, Pigs on the Wing also will add music from other eras of Pink Floyd’s career: “hits and some deep cuts,” Baker promised.
Even those less familiar with Floyd, he added, will be in for a ferocious rock show.
Road House doors will open at 8 p.m. with the band stepping up at 9 p.m.
Tickets to this 21-and-older event are $12 through brownpapertickets.com (search for Pigs on the Wing) or $15 at the door.
Pigs on the Wing is a sextet with Baker and singer-guitarist David Lindenbaum, keyboard player and singer Matt Jones, bassist Eric Welder, drummer Bryan Fairfield, Keeley St. Clair on backing vocals and Pete Galluzzo on saxophone.
