Biography

During the early '90s, Phish emerged as heir to the Grateful Dead's throne. Although their music is somewhat similar to the Dead's -- it's eclectic, free-form rock & roll encompassing folk, jazz, country, bluegrass, and pop -- they adhere more to jazz-derived improvisation than folk tradition, and they have a looser, goofier attitude. Phish's main claim as the inheritors to the Dead's legacy is their approach to their musical career. Phish didn't concentrate on albums; they dedicated themselves to live improvisation. Within a few years of their 1988 debut, Phish had become an institution in certain sections of America, particularly college campuses. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
