Organized by Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes guitarist Glenn Alexander, the ninth annual Pig Gig returns on Sunday, November 10, 2024 from 2pm to 8pm at the Italian American Hall in Scotch Plains, New Jersey.
Pig Gig is a benefit event with all proceeds supporting The Fibrolamellar Cancer Foundation in memory of Glenn’s nephew, Jay, who tragically lost his fight against the disease in 2011 at just 20 years old. Fibrolamellar carcinoma is a rare liver cancer that primarily affects teens and adults under 40, and sadly, no one has yet survived it.
These fundraising efforts are designed to keep him in the forefront of everyone’s mind and help other families avoid the heartache our family went through. Here’s to Jay!

Glenn, who has also played with Bruce Springsteen and Conan O’ Brien’s band, will take the stage again this year alongside Shadowland as well as his daughter, Oria Aspen. The lineup also features The Lonesome Pines, Anthony Tamburro & Louis Bevere, and Richie “LaBamba” Rosenberg.
General admission includes unlimited servings of roast pig, pulled pork, sausage and peppers, wings, hot dogs, side dishes, and a bottomless bar with beer, wine, and soft drinks, all complemented by top-notch entertainment.
American Blues Scene is proud to be one of the sponsors for this pig roast with a purpose. Tickets can be purchased here.
