Phish has made a tradition of visiting Dicks Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, just outside Denver, for three nights of music and friends. Phish Dicks, as the event is affectionately called, has become a staple in the Phish community, in comparison to the likes of the Gorge and MSG in NYC, and draws thousands of people from all corners of the county (& probably beyond).
In keeping with tradition, Matt Butler is bringing The Everyone Orchestra back to Denver for two nights of stellar live improvisation with some incredible musicians. Butler has been leading a rotating cast of musicians through full-length shows that are entirely improvised since 2001. The Everyone Orchestra operates off the concept of using improvisation as a vehicle to explore instrumentation between musicians from different styles.
According to their website: "The Everyone Orchestra conductor/founder Matt Butler has taken its participants, both on stage and off, on improvisational journeys with the most diverse of lineups at festivals, theaters and philanthropic events both nationally and internationally. A laundry list of hundreds of musicians, dancers, singers, guest conductors and community organizations have embraced the experience of EO in single shots of musical adrenaline to the soul. Tuning in to his energy, the band and audience utilize The Conductor as their pivot to the set mood of each passing jam as he communicates with the musicians using hand signs, whiteboard and assorted mime suggestions."This year, the Everyone Orchestra is kicking off Phish Dicks weekend in style Thursday night, September 1st, at Cervantes' Ballrom's Other Side. The cast of musicians is pretty impressive for the first night, including Adam Deitch (Lettuce), Joel Cummins (Umphrey's McGee), Durga McBroom (Pink Floyd), DJ Williams (Karl Densons Tiny Universe), Robert Mercurio (Galactic), Mihali Savoulidis (Twiddle), Ben Thomas (Zappa Plays Zappa), and rounding things out, Matt Bricket and Austin Zalatel (Eufoquestra). You can still snag $20 early bird tickets to this show right now, HERE. Don't sleep on it as they're going up to $25 before the show and then another $5 to $30 for tickets the day of show. Doors are at 8pm and the show starts at 9pm.
