Billy Joel must be stewing. Rumors have been circulating for several months now about Phish’s plans for summer 2017. Those rumors gained steam during their four-night New Year’s Eve run at Madison Square Garden: Phish would play a limited tour featuring a “bakers dozen” of shows at MSG.

I first heard TAUK on Sirius Radio’s Jam On. I am a big fan of heavy instrumental jams and methodically played grooves, and these guys fit that bill nicely. The guys in the band, Matt Jalbert, Charlie Dolan, A.C. Carter, and Isaac Teel- have been together since 2012, though Matt, Charlie, and A.C. have known each other since… Keep Reading

Jerry Garcia passed away less than a year after I started devouring Dead tunes as fast as I could. At the time, I would scour Jack’s Music Shoppe in Red Bank, NJ, for any… Keep Reading
Quiet since an extraordinary three night Mexican adventure back in January, Phish will return to the road to kick off their summer tour in less than three weeks. The shows in Rivera Maya marked the first time the boys have gone south of the Rio Grande to perform, and their first international shows since a lone… Keep Reading
“Summer Summer Summertime! Time to sit back and unwind!” The Fresh Prince’s 1991 ode to the warmer months of the year is still one of my favorite tunes to bump as I drive out of the parking lot on that last day of school. (I appreciate summers off as a teacher way more than I ever… Keep Reading
