Joined August 2010
Yesterday at soundcheck, between my 100th and 101st Phish shows, I got to test Mike’s rig, and then before I knew it. well, this happened at @thegarden. A dream, it’s true. Still floating. Grateful beyond words to jam with my favorite band at the world’s most famous arena.

Found out about Phil about 5 mins before we took the stage yesterday. Horrible feeling. We went into an impromptu bit of Fire⛰️ during a jam. Rest easy, Phil. I don’t even have the words yet. 💔

Thank you so much to @KarinaRykman for joining us for our Michigan shows and at Rose on the River! It’s been so fantastic getting to know her, play with her, and watch her perform her heart out each night. She’s truly a force and inspiration.

All I’m saying is when the time comes you WILL be in a Peggy-O vortex in your life and you’ll listen to everyone’s versions and wonder about its origin and my time for this is right now.

Me + my bass gurus. They’re the bassists in my two favorite bands and they’re also the kindest and most selfless people. They’ve given me everything. Thanks, dudes 😭🥹

Joyride, my debut record, is out now. I’m crying tears of joy and relief and fear and disbelief as I board this plane to go play a festival today, knowing what we worked so hard on now belongs to you.

One more time for the people: “sound tribe” refers to STS9. “Tribe” refers to A Tribe Called Quest. Get it right or the ghost of Phife will smite you.

There’s a couple who’ve driven 4k miles in their RV following our tour, but they NEVER go to the show together as they don’t wanna leave their RV unattended. They flip a coin every night for who gets to go. Last night I took the guy’s phone, and FaceTimed his lady from the stage.
