Guys named Noah might have an awkward moment if they stay until the end of Tampa Pig Jig this year. That’s if Megan Moroney plays the sleeper hit from her 2024 album, Am I Okay?

The 27-year-old Georgia songwriter is in the midst of a nationwide arena tour that’ll make a stop at downtown’s big ol’ BBQ, music festival and tailgate happening this fall, and she very well could be a household name by then. Moroney, who will please fans who can’t quit country Taylor, has already been on the cover of Rolling Stone’s Future of Music Issue and was recently profiled in the New Yorker, which praised her “achy-breaky songs about love and its failure to be respectfully reciprocated by various dudes.”

A year after playing Raymond James Stadium with Kenny Chesney, she headlines Tampa Pig Jig at Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park, now in its 14th year of raising funds to find a cure for the rare kidney diseases like FSGS (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis) and Nephrotic Syndrome.

Also on the ticket is “Burn Out” country band Midland and tour manager-turned Moroney show-opener George Pippen. Soulful Americana duo Jamestown Revival rounds out the Tampa Pig Jig bill.

All of it is punctuated by longtime San Francisco pop songwriter Matt Nathanson (“Pretty The World,” “Come On Get Higher”), who has a long history of touring Tampa Bay, from his days playing the long-shuttered Twilight in Ybor City to recent headlining gigs at Clearwater’s Bilheimer Capitol Theatre.

Tickets for Tampa Pig Jig happening Saturday, Oct. 18 at Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park go on sale to the public on Friday, May 16 and start at $125. Kids under 10 get in free with an accompanying adult.

New this year at Tampa Pig Jig is a “Backyard Bash” ticket which will include access to a party area in the park’s north parking lot where there’ll be a second acoustic stage, air conditioning, private restrooms and more.

Tennessee plays Alabama that afternoon as well, so you’ll have an excuse to wear Tennessee Orange to the party.
