Phish / Upcoming shows at Cat's Cradle

Phish is making their triumphant return to Walnut Creek this Thursday night. By all accounts the Vermont quartet is back in full swing after a much needed hiatus. Front-man and guitar virtuoso Trey Anastasio fell into some drug problems a few years ago, bringing the band and fans down to a level of discomfort and fatigue. Phish came back with a vengeance two years ago and have since resumed their position at the tip top of the live rock / jam scene.

This week at the Cat's Cradle:

Friday July 2nd - Islands with Steel Phantoms and Active Child

Sunday July 4th - Arguably the best bass player in the world, Bela Fleck and the Fleck Tones Bassist, the one and only Victor Wooten

Monday July 5th - All the way from Long Beach, CA the Delta Spirit with Nashville's David Vendervelde and The Romany Rye.

Friday July 6th - Dayton Ohio's grittiest, The Heartless Bastards with Portland's The Builders and the Butchers and Peter Wolf Crier

Saturday July 10th - Raleigh's own Chatham County Line with Birds and Arrows
