Join Highland Brewing for an evening of gastronomy bringing together hand-crafted, local charcuterie and expertly paired beers. The American Pig founder Charles Lee and Highland Brewing sensory scientist Megan Rayfield will guide you through a selection of five pairings of The American Pig charcuterie and Highland beer. Full pairing menu to be announced soon!
This ticketed event is limited to 40 individuals.
About The American Pig: Born and raised in South Carolina, Charles Lee’s formative years taught him to appreciate the finer aspects of living. One of those key points is that all good things take time. His Uncle Jay would reinforce that lesson every year when the family gathered for the annual pig-picking. Uncle Jay would show up several days before the big event, smoker in tow, and go purchase a pig from a local farmer. That pig would end up on ice in the bathtub of Charles’s grandmother’s house in Brevard, NC. At some point in the late afternoon of an early November day, after the wood fire had turned to simmering coals, the pig would find its new home on the smoker.
After college Charles found himself in Denver working for a brewery. When not behind the bar pouring beers, he would stumble into the kitchen and concoct crazy burgers and hot sauces. Then one day the industry folk started talking about a new butcher shop opening in town. The shop was going to be using whole animals that were raised in Colorado. Not soon afterward, Charles walked into that butcher shop and signed up for a class. That class would be the spark that started the adventure that is The American Pig.

Gracie and Rachel are a study in duality: light and dark, classical training with a pop sensibility, Californians in New York. On their debut full-length, Gracie and Rachel pit anxiety and tension against an almost serene self-assurance. The duo announced the album via NPR alongside the introspective video premiere for “Only A Child.” The self-titled record (out June 23, 2017) quickly won the hearts of NPR fans who voted them to #4 on NPR’s Your Favorite New Artist, with Bob Boilen describing as having “a terrific tension in the sound, an underpinning of mystery set against a baroque, but modern, pop foreground.” The duo has since recorded an NPR Tiny Desk Concert and was named to NPR 100 Best Songs of 2017, Bob Boilen’s Top 10 Albums of 2017 and Slingshot 2018, public radio’s artist incubator program for emerging artists.

Their music is a compelling juxtaposition of Gracie’s piano and lead vocals and Rachel’s violin and voice, augmented with stark percussion. The nine orchestral pop songs on Gracie and Rachel tell a story that’s rooted in the truth —their truth — but retain an enigmatic air that makes them relatable to anyone who has ever found their heart racing with doubt and pushed forward regardless or triumphed in subverting expectations imposed from without. Seen on stages with Julien Baker, Lucy Dacus, Joseph, Ani DiFranco, Tall Heights, and San Fermin, the live experience displays a passionate, tangible quality to their deeply rooted bond, an intimate connection that is vibrantly apparent on stage and equally imprinted on their record.
