Something's Phish-y
Can you name one song by Phish? I couldn’t even
if my life depended upon it. My knowledge gap in the jamband world isn’t stopping the
folks at the Jammy Awards from presenting the band with a lifetime achievement award
at the seventh annual shindig taking place on May 7 at the Wamu Theater at Madison Square Garden.
The event will be co-hosted by Warren Haynes and Grace Potter and will feature
performances from Booker T. Jones, Christian McBride, Fab Faux, Galactic, Glenn
Tillbrook of Squeeze, HeadCount All-Stars, Jake Cinninger of Umphrey's McGee,
James Carter, Joe Russo, Jon Gutwillig, Kyle Hollingsworth of String Cheese
Incident, Los Lonely Boys, Marc Brownstein, Matisyahu, Page McConnell, Rose
Hill Drive, Sharon Jones, Tea Leaf Green and Todd Park Mohr.
Obligatory press gush from Jammys producer Jonathan Schwartz: "We're
ecstatic with the initial Jammys lineup. The level of musicianship and
the community of artists coming together at the Jammy Awards is something that
we're all proud of. From Booker T. and Sharon Jones to Galactic and Page
McConnell, this year is stacked."
