J.J. Grey had a nice little shout-out in Ryan Dembrinsky’s interview with Mike Gordon published here on Hidden Track on Tuesday. Cactus name-checked J.J. while discussing how he would like to approach a more masculine way of singing, having been inspired to do so by Phish’s performance of Waiting For Columbus. The song selection here is from the 2010 release Georgia Warhorse. J.J Grey & Mofro [tour dates] play tonight at The Vogue Theatre in Indianapolis, IN.

Speaking of Cactus, let’s have a listen to one of his shows from last week. As you may have heard, Phish drummer Jon Fishman joined Mike’s band to add a second kit to the majority of the show up in Portland, ME. This section of music, from mid first-set, features a first-time-played Little Feat tune, a bluegrass cover, Mike’s original The Void from his new album Moss as well as a take on Sugar Shack which appears on Phish’s 2009 album Joy. Note to Trey, THIS is how you play Sugar Shack. No future dates on the book for Mike’s solo band, but Phish returns to the stage December 27th at the DCU Center in Worcester, MA.
