Following stand-alone conferences in 2019 and 2024 in Corvalis, OR, the newly incorporated and nonprofit Phish Studies Association is excited to announce that our first annual meetings were held in Philadelphia November 6-8, as part of the Mid-Atlantic Popular and American Culture Association (MAPACA) meetings and were a resounding success!
The fifteen scholarly presentations ranged from the genesis and influence of Phish festivals, to a technical explanation of why "Tweezer Reprise" rocks so hard. (Hint: Listen to Page!)
Phish.net is a non-commercial project run by Phish fans and for Phish fans under the auspices of the all-volunteer, non-profit Mockingbird Foundation.
This project serves to compile, preserve, and protect encyclopedic information about Phish and their music.

The Mockingbird FoundationThe 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.
