I saw Aeris and the Piggies at the White Squirrel a couple weeks ago and just loved them. The music is charming and warming and don’t we all need that right now. We were thrilled to have bandmembers Aeris, Luke, Adrian and Neil on the show over the holiday weekend. They’ve been playing together a short time, but they exude friendship and community. They also have a growing list of instruments on their docket with no fear of picking up a new instrument (like an accordion) on a whim or pulling one out of a pocket unexpectedly on air. You can catch them at the White Squirrel on December 20, 2024.
