The Bearded Pigs could be considered an "Open Access" band, as we never charge admission. However, just as there are costs to Open Access publishing, the band still has costs involved in getting all the necessary band equipment to the MLA meeting every year, as well as running this website.

To our amazement, and with our sincere thanks, many of our fans have joined the Thicket Society, the fan club of the Bearded Pigs.

For $40 per year for individuals, or $75 per year for couples, you'll receive a limited edition commemorative t-shirt, a commemorative button, your name in our MLA concert program, and our undying gratitude.
