3 Pigs Cafe - promo shot 1996

3 Pigs Café was a quartet that performed twisted, yet melodic, psychedelic country-folk-rock, active in Baltimore, Maryland from 1995 to 1997.  Created out of the ashes of the late, great Lambs Eat Ivy, it featured vocalist/banjo-plucker/lyricist Liz Downing, guitarist/vocalist Michael Willis, drummer Augie Buchheit and bassist/cellist Steve Berson.

After Steve Berson left the group in 1997 in order to relocate to New York City, the remaining members of 3 Pig's reformed as Radiant Pig with bassist Steve Parks.  In 1999 they self-released an excellent CD  - "In The Attic", containing new arrangements of many songs originally created for 3 Pigs Café.  In late 2002 they released another excellent CD.
