Active since:
Phish is an American rock band that formed in Burlington, Vermont, in 1983. The band is known for musical improvisation, extended jams, blending of genres, and a dedicated fan base. The band consists of guitarist Trey Anastasio, bassist Mike Gordon, drummer Jon Fishman, and keyboardist Page McConnell, all of whom perform vocals, with Anastasio being the primary lead vocalist. The band was formed by Anastasio, Gordon, Fishman and guitarist Jeff Holdsworth, who were joined by McConnell in 1985. Holdsworth departed the band in 1986, and the lineup has remained stable since. Phish began to perform outside of New England in the late 1980s and experienced a rise in popularity in the mid 1990s

The Cosmic Sheath: Tragic Musical Phenomenon
by Troy Hoffman
Music is a messaging system used to speak directly to the Gods, but this communication can often go awry. The effects are often magical and of a natural order, but not always pleasant.

Chrissie Hynde: Standing In The Doorway: Chrissie Hynde Sings Bob Dylan
