What's happenin' at the Hog

and Hog sponsored events, too!

Where & When: Unless stated, all events start at 8pm and are held at the Coffeehouse in the Wil-Mar Neighborhood Center in Madison. Directions, parking and bus information. For updates due to weather, please contact us.

Admission is $2 for Hog members and $3 for non-members. Admission pays the rent. Scheduled performers play for your tips in our ceramic piggy bank, affectionately named Phill-up the Pig. We recommend tips should not be silver, but should be what you truly feel the chance to listen to live folk music was worth to you. Special events and dances have higher admission fees.

Open Mike is available for walk-in's between the two scheduled sets. Sign up at the door when you arrive. Expect to do one to three songs. If more than one person sign's up, you may be asked to limit the number of songs to less than three. Open Mike performers are not paid and do not share the tips left in Phill-up. Open Mike is a great way to try out a new song or to perform for the first time on a stage.
