Here’s a quote that may shock and horrify Phish fans…
I’m trying to teach [Justin Bieber] about Phish and how great they are. We actually met Trey [Anastasio] at a show. – Justin Bieber Band guitarist and musical director Dan Kanter.
[via RollingStone.com]
That’s right, the teen idol’s closest musical confidant is trying to turn him onto the music of Phish. This isn’t the first Biebs/Phish connection as Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio met Justin Bieber at Z109’s Jingle Ball 2009. Kanter detailed the encounter in the Rolling Stone piece…
He brought his daughter to see a Bieber show, and what a world colliding there that was.
I’ll say. What was that like?
It was quite funny. Scooter [Braun, Bieber’s manager], said to Justin, “This is the reason why all my friends dropped out of college.”
Can we expect to see the Biebs slinging veggie burritos on lot this summer? We’re not quite there yet, but if Kanter has a say he’ll certainly check out the quartet in concert soon. Head over to RollingStone.com for the full article as Kanter is clearly one of us and if Bob Weir – who Kanter pegs as a “Bieberhead” – can play with Hanson, anything’s possible.

A new person starting to like phish.. That would neither shock nor horrify me.
Bieber sucks as much as Animal Chin. Destroy them both!
So does Bob prefer white boys or Cambodian boys?
Dan Kanter is actually from my neighborhood in Toronto. He’s a head and reportedly quite a good guy too.
we here at livephish.org have bieber fever. eagerly awaiting the Beiber/DMB/the phish fest at watkins glen this summer
Jampop will be the next sensation sweeping the nation. 18 minute versions of You Smile I Smile will bring 12 year old girls to their knees. Phish, WSP, UM all things of the past. Beiber, Katy Perry and Gaga will dominate the jam band scene…
Look out america, it’s happening…
I would like to hear him guest on Tela (Beiber)

Hey @animalchin. Love the Bieber/Phish set list… you left out my favorite songs… Divided Bieber, Bouncing Around The Bieber, Down With Biebs, Bieber Apparatus, and The Squirming Bieb,
I love that setlist. Hilarious. You forgot E2: Lawn Bieber. He’s quite a crooner.
I just threw up a little inky mouth
