The Mockingbird Foundation is a non-profit organization founded by Phish fans in 1996 to generate charitable proceeds from the Phish community.
And since we're entirely volunteer – with no office, salaries, or paid staff – administrative costs are less than 2% of revenues! So far, we've distributed over $2 million to support music education for children – hundreds of grants in all 50 states, with more on the way.
When phish is on, it sounds unique. Like, it’s still the band and the song you’ve heard a hundred times, but something’s better. This occurs most often when they’re relaxed and loose. MSG opens them up in that way. Other venues too… Alpharetta, MGM, Dicks, etc.
When they came back in ‘09 they were understandably not loose. Still great music, but not “Phish as great as it could be.” Since 2012, we’ve had more and more of those loose moments. More and more as the years roll by, especially post-Covid. (Fall 2021 … ⚡️).
It seems that they’re about as happy and loose as I’ve ever seen them. This run at MSG was a celebration of loose, fun, grateful Phish.
