Phish - October/November 2016 Relix Issue

The October/November 2016 Relix issue features our Phish cover story much more! Phish’s music is often powerful, but rarely direct. So, after wrapping up 2014’s Fuego, veteran producer Bob Ezrin challenged the quartet to look inward and reveal a bit more of themselves through their songs. The result of that exercise is Big Boat, a deeply personal album that explores such heady topics as loss, aging, domestic life, community and friendship. Editor-in-Chief Mike Greenhaus spoke with the members of the 33-year-old group as they prepared to roll out Big Boat, and finds out how four men in their 50s are still figuring out new ways to capture their classic sound. This issue also contains additional articles and interviews with Bob Weir & Josh Ritter, David Crosby, Robert Ellis, Slightly Stoopid, Carl Broemel, The Felice Brothers, Aaron Neville, Dave Matthews Band’s 25th anniversary photographic retrospective, Todd Snider, The Doobie Decibel System, The Marcus King Band, St. Paul & The Broken Bones, Blackberry Smoke, Mickey Melchiondo, Nahko Bear, The Motet, Local Natives, Max Romeo, Live Nation’s Jason Miller and more!
