Interviews: An Unfolding Natalie Cressman [Jambands.com]

It was really funny. So Trey called my dad and my dad couldn’t do it. And he was like, ‘This might sound really funny but I have this daughter who lives in New York and she sings too and she might be a good fit.’ And I can’t believe it, because they actually took him seriously. They actually followed up on it. First, Trey’s manager called and asked me to send over some music and a bio. And then I remember, freshman year in my dorm room getting a call from Trey – no big deal (laughing).

Fish: Jon Fishman Leads World’s Largest Cowbell Ensemble [Hidden Track]

In a scene that would make Will Ferrell proud, the Burlington Free Press reports that roughly 1,600 cowbell-playing revelers lined Church Street in Burlington to form what Ben & Jerry’s claims is the World’s Largest Cowbell Ensemble. The ice cream makers put the event together to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Phish Food and to raise funds for Vermont Flood Recovery through the WaterWheel Foundation. Those assembled rang their cowbells along with four tunes performed by a  band fronted by Phish drummer Jon Fishman, one of which was Blue Oyster Cult’s (Don’t Fear) The Reaper, natch.

3/21/1992 Twenty Years Later: A Night Dedicated to Celebrating the PHISH

March 21, 1992 at the Chesnut Cabaret in Philadelphia was a typical ’92 smoker! Secret language all over the place, that ’92 energy ripped, and a YEM complete with Three Blind Mice reared its lumpy head.  Tomorrow night, the Blockley in Philadelphia would like to invite everyone to come and celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the one and only time Phish graced our West Philadelphia stage! There will be 1/2 priced drafts until 10 PM and “Lot-Tails” such as Reba’s Toxic Purple Paste, the Makisupa Swizzle, Piper’s Sour (Complete with worms!), and Bathtub Gin Punch… You in the Eye!  Phish Quizzo/Happy Hour will start around 8 PM and 3/21/92 will begin playing over the PA around 9:30.  Throughout the night there will be giveaways (think 3-day Bader Field Pass and other Phish goodies), surprise jams, DVD Footage and other related Videography, and a Phan-friendly food menu, taboot!  Look for Mike the Rager behind the bar in his magical vest! Come on down, and FEEL THE FEELING YOU FORGOT!

When: Wednesday 3/21/2012 @ 8 PM
Where: The Blockley, 38th and Chestnut, Philadelphia, PA
