The world's most active Phish tribute, Runaway Gin, is officially set to make it's Alabama debut on Friday, November 11th at Zydeco in Birmingham.  We couldn't be more pleased to be a part of this show, as we have had the pleasure of seeing Runaway Gin many times over the years.  The group, which holds a weekly residency at The Charleston Pour House every Sunday night, has quickly expanded outside of the South Carolina market and become a nationally touring act in very high demand.  While Phish did not make it back to Birmingham on their fall tour, fans can rejoice in the fact that Runaway Gin is bringing a tribute that is second to none.  We recently caught up with frontman Andy Greenberg, who expressed the band's excitement to break into the Birmingham/Alabama market.  

"As a tribute to Phish we approach each show and jam differently. We strive to capture the vibes of a particular place in space and time and use the music of Phish as a springboard to communicate with each other and with the audience. We are really excited to play Birmingham and AL for the first time. It's so cool for us to travel from town to town and meet and party with segments of that area's Phish fan base.

Each town and area of the country has it's own distinct flavor of energy which steers us to play different kinds of shows and jams. Playing new towns is especially interesting, because we don't know what to expect as much so there is the element of surprise to a greater degree. I loved the energy at the Orange Beach and Oak Mountain Phish shows in 2014, so I have an inkling of the feel there, but I can't wait to immerse myself even further"

Official Bio: Runaway Gin - A Tribute to Phish
-

With over 200 shows under their belt, Runaway Gin is the World's most active Phish Tribute Band. They play every Sunday at the Charleston Pour House and tour often.

The members of Runaway Gin are long time Phish fans who have united with the goal of creating musical moments inspired by Phish. The band's song list is constantly growing and their improvisational and communication skills are constantly developing independently and together. Like Phish, Runaway Gin will never play the same show or jam the same way twice making every show a unique experience and every moment pure artistic creation.

Runaway Gin strives to capture the essence of Phish's flagship live style of group improvisation known as "type-2" jamming as well as learning the composed segments of Phish's catalog with impeccable precision. Their success in these areas comes from constant live shows as well as rehearsals. The current moment is always the driving force in a Runaway Gin show giving the quartet a fresh and original sound during jams and shows as a whole.
