Get tickets to the ‘Dark Side’
ASTORIA — Pigs on the
Wing, a tribute to Pink
Floyd, performs at the
Liberty Theatre 7:30 p.m.
Friday, March 30. Doors
open at 7 p.m.
General admission
tickets for the all-ag-
es production — titled
“Finding the Dark Side of
the Moon” — are $20 and
available at libertyastoria.
org. The cost is $22 the
day of the show.
Expect two full sets
of Pink Floyd: the first, a
loosely chronological ret-
rospective of Pink Floyd’s
work before becoming a
household name; the sec-
ond, a full performance of
one of rock music’s finest
works, “The Dark Side of
the Moon.”
All of the members
of the Portland-based
band are seasoned vet-
erans of the rock scene
and balance a decidedly
un-tribute-like attitude
toward the music with a
deep understanding of the
importance of Pink Floyd
in many fans’ lives.
The result is a sound and
experience refreshing in
delivery yet true to the orig-
inal — something the band
believes sets it apart from
other Pink Floyd tributes.
The Liberty is located
at 1203 Commercial St.

Songwriting workshop
Earlier in the day, Kathryn
Claire, no stranger to Arts Center
audiences, is hosting a songwriting
workshop 1 to 3 p.m. This will be a
hands-on experience, with atten-
tion to telling stories and convey-
ing emotions and feelings through
lyrics, as well as presenting con-
cepts around song structure.
Claire’s workshops are always
inspirational and educational. In
fact, her first workshop at the Arts

first songwriting contest.
The cost for the workshop is

ter.org or calling Svendsen at 360-
