Bio
Mike Gordon (filmmaker, photographer, and bassist of Phish) is a dynamic musician with influences as varied as his instrumentation (bass, guitar, banjo, vocals). Also recorded with: Leo Kottke (Albums: Clone and Sixty Six Steps).
This 550-person capacity venue quickly filled to the brim with eager fans as Mike’s band took the stage, opening with the pulsing reggae of Stealing Jamaica and an equally danceable Crazy Sometimes.
The ever evolving creative genius put together his phinest lineup to tour with and flex his creative juices that seem to ooze out of him constantly whether it is making music or film or photography.
The bassist may have been referring more to implication of the term, which most associate with jolly, frolicking songs that seemingly never end and stay upbeat, as pigeonholing.
