Several outlets - including Live for Live Music - have hosted write-ups about Phish's breakup, announced 15 years ago today in a letter from Trey which was featured as the focal point of one of the Phish Companion: Third Edition commissioned images.

Former Phish crew member Leigh Fordham passed away Sunday in a tragic truck accident. Trey issued a touching statement.

Trey has now released eight videos of songs debuted on the recent Ghosts of the Forest tour.

The new documentary about Trey Anastasio, Between Me and My Mind, will run nationally for one night, July 17th. Tickets are available now.

Trey will perform two more acoustic shows at Carnegie Hall. Tickets go on sale tomorrow.

The Mimi Fishman Foundation has added Phish summer tour ticket and hotel packages to it's current auction.

Phish has donated a total of $100,000 to seven nonprofits in Schuyler County, NY, following flooding and related issues that affected the area and resulted in the cancellation of Curveball.

The Boston Red Sox have announced that June 24th will be Phish Night at Fenway Park. The first 1,500 ticket orders will get “a limited-edition pennant designed by Phish to commemorate this special event.”

In conjunction with his newly announced Newport Festival show, Trey has directed the Newport Festival Foundation to donate $2,000 to the Mockingbird Foundation. Mockingbird in turn has matched the donation and contributed $4,000 to nearby Mt. Pleasant High School, which had its $4,000 music budget for the year slashed to only $700. We're restoring that, thanks to Trey and NFF, and encourage others in the area to contribute to their music program, as well.

“The benefits of music education in the lives of young people are countless, and yet music programs in our schools continue to be seriously underfunded,” said Anastasio, co-founder of the band Phish in a prepared statement. “Thankfully, there are organizations like The Mockingbird Foundation that are on the frontlines of this very worthy cause. The fact that this non-profit organization was founded and funded by the Phish fan community is incredibly inspiring and humbling.”

The Mockingbird Foundation has announced fifteen new grants totaling $131,870 in support of music education for children. The grants come from Mockingbird’s 23rd round of competitive grant-making, are among the largest single rounds of grants in the Foundation’s history, and include the Foundation’s 400th grant.

The grants were enhanced by funds from Phish’s own WaterWheel Foundation, which allowed the board to double two of the grant requests, as well as the Kristy Anastasio Manning Memorial Fund, which provided 50% of one of the grants. Mockingbird also increased four grants beyond the requested amounts, having been particularly impressed by those applicants.

Phish will hit the road this summer with a 26-date tour beginning in St. Louis, MO and ending with their traditional Labor Day shows at Dick's. The ticket request window is open until Wednesday, January 16th – see here for ticketing information.
