Get Ready for Asbury Juke Lead Guitarist Glenn Alexander’s Annual Pig Gig

Written By Mike Greenblatt

Circle October 22 on your calendar. Glenn Alexander—the lead guitarist in Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes—will hold his eighth annual Pig Gig for a good cause. But let’s let Glenn himself tell you all about it.

Glenn Alexander:  “I'm thrilled to announce that Pig Gig 8 is comin' up and will be bigger and better than ever! We have some stellar entertainment lined up, including our good friends The Weeklings, James Maddock, The Lonesome Pines, Blue Americana and Glenn Alexander & Shadowland, with very special guest Southside Johnny! Wow! And, of course, we'll have tons of food donated by some very generous local restaurants, as well as our good friend Bill Kleemeyer from Swine Time, who will be roasting the pig. Tickets are available NOW at www.ticketbud.com (go to events, then search "Pig Gig 8"). So, grab your tickets now and remember - it's all for a great cause - all profits go to the The Fibrolamellar Cancer Foundation in honor of my late nephew, Jay Alexander. So, bring your appetite and your dancin' shoes and join us on October 22nd at the Italian American Hall, 1976 Valley Avenue in Scotch Plains!!!”
