Welcome to

Phillup the Pig's Virtual Concerts

Following CDC recommendations, state and local mandates, the Coffeehouse's physical space at the Wil-Mar Neighborhood Center continues to be closed to group events. So we are bringing you a live or prerecorded concert each Friday as we continue to support folk music in our community, for the performer s and for those who love listening to folk music, both standards and original songs.

About Our Tip Jar

The Coffeehouse 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.

Look for the DONATE button near the picture of Phillup the Pig on the Next Concert's page to tip generously.

The donations will be divided between the performer and the Wil-Mar Neigborhood Center. Some musicians are donating their share to Wil-Mar, as well.

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

Don't have a credit or debit card, mail a check to Wild Hog in the Woods at our temporary mailing address of 1319 Waldorf Blvd., Madison, WI 53719.

The Coffeehouse is a membership managed cooperative, to join or renew your membership, visit our Membership page.
