Tampa Pig Jig has figured out how to use country and indie-rock to help raise money for research benefiting patients suffering from the kidney disease Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), and the diseases that cause Nephrotic Syndrome.
Today, the one-day barbecue cook-off and mini-music festival (aka the best backyard cookout in downtown Tampa) announced that Florida native and rising country music star Jake Owen will headline festivities on October 19. Joining the 37-year-old “Down To The Honkytonk” singer at Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park will be Nashville crossover group LANCO and indie-rock favorite Dr. Dog.
Tickets for the ninth annual Tampa Pig Jig go on sale to the public on Friday, June 21 at 10 a.m. EDT. They start at $25 and will be $40 at the gate if the event does not sell out. More information is available via tampapigjig.com.
