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.
"I look at Phish as if they at going through a re-evolution of their sound. They are less popular than they have been at any point since 1994, and the pressure is off. To me, it sounds like they reset the clock to 1993 but brought everything they learned back with them."
"I'd much rather hear a Round Room or Waves or Undermind or Halfway to the Moon that hasn't really written its own story yet. I don't want Phish doing what they did in 97. I want this new extraordinarily dense, constantly mutating improvisation that combines the best qualities of 93, 95, 97 and 03 to grow into something new. And I can't even wrap my head around anyone thinking that we're not seeing exactly that happen on this tour. It's not constant, but Phish rarely was."
That is so well said and pretty much sums up the current state of Phish and the mood of lots of fans.
