Pig Earth

Pig Earth’s music has been described as country /folk crossed with electrified bluegrass. One of the UK’s top original Country Folk bands, they won the “Horizon Act of the Year” category in the 2011 British Country Music Awards.

Pig Earth have performed at venues ranging from the intimate setting of the Half Moon to the big stage at Wembley Arena. In 2012 they returned to country music festival stages, such as Wolvestock and Norfolk Country Music Festival, as well as the mainstream Acoustic Festival of Britain. Cross Country magazine “appreciated the superb musicianship of this band” and described them as having “the best sound of the weekend” at Wolvestock. Up Country magazine praised “such talented musicians”, adding that “Pig Earth are to be cherished for their new music and their retention of musical principles and we should all be part of their new world.”

“All Smoke And Mirrors” from Pig Earth’s 2012 album 14? x 12? was nominated as “UK Song Of The Year” in the 2012 British Country Music Awards.

Pig Earth have shared main stage line-ups with Reba McEntire, Ricky Scaggs, Lonestar, Asleep At The Wheel, Jo-el Sonnier, George Hamilton IV, Narvel Felts, Raymond Froggatt, The Coal Porters, Dennis Locorriere, Jim Moray, John Smith and others, and opened for Moe Bandy at the 2013 Americana International festival.
