Big Boat

2016 release, the 13th album from the rock/jam band led by Trey Anastasio. Big Boat was produced by Bob Ezrin (Pink Floyd, Alice Cooper, KISS), making this the producer's second collaboration with Phish following 2014's Fuego - and recorded between Nashville, New York, and their home state of Vermont. Big Boat takes it's title from the Jon Fishman-penned "Friends" and the line "We're on a big boat, like the ones our forefathers sailed." Phish is a band known for musical improvisation, extended jams, blending of genres, and a dedicated fan base. Originating at the University of Vermont in 1983 (with the current line-up solidifying in 1985), the band's four members-Trey Anastasio (guitars, lead vocals), Mike Gordon (bass, vocals), Jon Fishman (drums, percussion, vacuum, vocals), and Page McConnell (keyboards, vocals)-performed together for nearly 20 years before going on hiatus in August 2004. They reunited in March 2009 for a series of three consecutive concerts played in the Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, Virginia, and have since resumed performing regularly.
