  • Pink Talking Fish Announce 2024 Tour With Five Shows in New York

    Pink Talking Fish – the Pink Floyd, Talking Heads and Phish tribute fusion act – has announced a huge fall tour running all the way into December, with five stops in New York State. Along with last month’s New Year’s Run announcement, the rest of 2024 is mapped out for the hybrid phenomenon.

    Known for their mind-blowing live performances, the three-act tribute band Pink Talking Fish has announced a two-leg tour, with stops in Lafayette, Lake George, Tarrytown, Buffalo and Brooklyn.

    Pink Talking Fish is a must-see for any fan of the three bands they cover: Pink Floyd, Talking Heads and Phish. The band features Eric Gould on bass, Richard James on keyboards, Zack Burwick on drums and Cal Kehoe on guitar. 

    The Pink Talking Fish fall tour kicks off in late September and brings the band coast-to-coast through 12 states around the country. Shows start on the East Coast in Tarrytown, NY, and Harrisburg, PA, with the band then heading to the Midwest through Ohio, Illinois and Kentucky.

    For Halloween, the band will be in Portsmouth, NH, at The Music Hall, directly following the annual Portsmouth Halloween Parade. In November, Pink Talking Fish will head to California for the Golden Road Festival in Sanger, along with other shows in San Luis Obispo, Menlo Park, and Auburn.

    Later in November marks a return to the Brooklyn Bowl in NYC with special guest Trukken, a band that performs heavy metal versions of Grateful Dead songs. 

    After the fall tour, Pink Talking Fish will close out the year with a New Year’s Eve run, which includes two-night runs in Mill Valley, CA, and Seattle, WA. 

    For those eager to catch a show as soon as possible, Pink Talking Fish will be performing this weekend in Atlanta, GA, at Buckhead Theatre and Charleston, SC, at The Refinery, joining Allman Brothers Band tribute band Trouble No More for a double bill.

  • In Focus: Pink Talking Fish & One Eyed Jack at The Wellmont Theater

    Jam band powerhouse Pink Talking Fish bring their variety filled show to the Wellmont Theater in Montclair, New Jersey on April 26. One Eyed Jack opened up the show with a funky set.

    The band brings together a really fun medley of different bands. They started off their set with a Talking Heads cover “Life During Wartime”. The first set was Talking Heads heavy including “This Must Be the Place” & “Cities,” but that could technically be considered a cover of a Phish cover given the tempo. The first set also featured a playful “McGrupp” and a booming “Have a Cigar.”

    Second set, what’s the band going to do? Play the whole instrumental part of “Reba”, yes! “Simple”? Yup! “Squirming Coil”!? Okay! The second set was Phish heavy with some Talking Heads covers like “Psycho Killer” and a memorable Floyd “Mother” cover. The band wrapped up the night with “La Grange”.

    Pink Talking Fish – The Wellmont Theater, Montclair, NJ – April 26, 2024

    Set 1: Life During Wartime, Cars Trucks Buses, Have a Cigar, Cities, Mcgrupp, Run Like Hell, This Must Be the Place

    Set 2: Once in a Lifetime, Reba, Mother, Psycho Killer, Simple, Astronomy Domine, What a Day That Was, The Squirming Coil, Nobody Home, La Grange
