Phish is an American
rock and roll band noted for their
musical improvisation, extended
jams, blending of musical genres, and dedicated fan base. Formed 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.
