On the heels of releasing their new album, Evolve, Phish have stopped by the NPR headquarters in Washington DC to perform their first-ever Tiny Desk Concert.
Setting up shop at Bob Boilen’s now-iconic desk, the band delivered a jammy set featuring classic cuts like “You Enjoy Myself,” “Sample in a Jar,” and “Chalk Dust Torture,” as well as newer songs, like 2017’s “Sigma Oasis” and “Evolve,” the title track from their latest album. Watch the official video of the performance below.
While this is Phish’s first time performing a Tiny Desk Concert, the band’s members have participated in the series in the past, like when guitarist Trey Anastasio performed a solo set in 2015, riffing on the theme song for NPR’s flagship news program All Things Considered. Bassist Mike Gordon also appeared on the series in 2020.
In other Phish news, the band released their 16th studio album, Evolve, on July 12th. A limited-edition prismatic velvet tones-colored vinyl variant is available for purchased here.
Up next, the jam band will hit the road for a new round of 2024 tour dates, starting on July 19th in Mansfield, Massachusetts. From there, they’ll perform in Wisconsin, Missouri, New York, and more states before wrapping with a residency in Commerce City, Colorado this August. Grab tickets for their upcoming shows here.
