Pink Talking Fish in Cincinnati

Pink Talking Fish is a tribute act that fuses the music of three influential bands into a single live show: the atmospheric rock of Pink Floyd, the funky art-rock of Talking Heads, and the exploratory jam structures of Phish. Rather than performing straight covers, the band blends and segues songs from all three catalogs together, finding connections between tracks like Pink Floyd's "On the Run" and Phish's "You Enjoy Myself," or weaving Phish's "Sand" into Talking Heads' "Slippery People." Founded by Eric Gould of the jam band Particle, the group has built a devoted following on the live-music circuit for its improvisational approach to well-known material. The Cincinnati show offers fans of any of the three source bands a chance to hear familiar songs recontextualized in a fusion format built for repeat listening and in-the-moment improvisation.
