It’s one of those rare Florida October weekends where the weather and the schedule line up perfectly. The massive country concert, barbecue, and drinkin’ party that is Tampa Pig Jig is tomorrow, Oct. 18.
And the lineup is huge:
Megan Moroney of “Tennessee Orange,” “I’m Not Pretty,” and “Am I Okay?’ fame
Midland, the country trio out of Dripping Springs, Texas
Matt Nathanson wants you to “Come On Get Higher”
Jamestown Revival, a folk duo known for hits like “Midnight Hour” and “Bluebird”
George Pippen, an Indiana-bred singer/songwriter + rising star
There’s still some spendytickets available. But even if you can’t get tickets, we still recommend heading downtown to savor the energy — and maybe listen to the show from across or on the river.
