Welcome to

Phillup the Pig's Virtual Concerts

Due to COVID-19, the Coffeehouse's physical space at the Wil-Mar Neighborhood Center continues to be closed in support of social distancing. We are bringing you a live or prerecorded concert each Friday during this new way of life as we continue to support folk music in our community.

Concert Announcements: Sign up to receive email announcements about each week's concert. Or check our online calendar.

Look for Phillup the Pig on the concert's page and tip generously. The Hog is a volunteer operated non-profit cooperative. Musicians also volunteer their talents. At the physical Coffeehouse, we have Phillup the Pig, a "pass the hat" ceramic piggy bank for collecting donations that go to the musicians.

For our online virtual concerts, a donate button appears on each concert's page. Use it to donate via credit or debit card. The donations will be divided between the performer and the Wil-Mar Neigborhood Center.

Both performers and the Center have seen reduced income during the pandemic. Both need your support, so please give generoulsy. The Hog and Wil-Mar each are 501(c)3 charitable organizations.
