A Phish After-Party w/ Brandon “Taz” Niederauer (Taz Plays Jimi Hendrix) – The Cutting Room – Wed, 12/29/21
Teenage guitar phenom Brandon “Taz” Niederauer has been drawing comparisons to the late, great Jimi Hendrix for the better part of a decade. These days, however, Brandon has evolved from “young kid who shreds” into a seasoned, nationally-touring bandleader. For his 2021 Phish After-Party, Taz is planning a very special tribute to Hendrix featuring some surprise guests. Don’t miss this chance to stand next to a future legend’s fire.

Date/Time: Wednesday, December 29th, 2021, 11:59 p.m
Tickets: GA $20; VIP Seated Balcony $35
A Phish After-Party w/ Spafford – Gramercy Theatre – Wed, 12/29/21
Deep late-night jams have always been an unofficial tradition when Phish is in town, and Arizona jam quartet Spafford will once again take up that mantle with a performance at the Gramercy Theatre on Wednesday, 12/29. Following a fall tour that featured numerous shows based around one heavily-improvised song, you can expect Spafford’s NYC late-night to venture deep into the unknown.
Venue: Gramercy Theatre – 127 E 23rd St, New York, NY
Date/Time: Wednesday, December 29th, 2021, 11:59 p.m
Tickets: $29.50–$38.50
A Phish After-Party w/ John Medeski, MonoNeon, Eddie Roberts, & More: The DAB Sessions – Hosted by Tom Marshall – Le Poisson Rouge – Wed, 12/29/21
Phish lyricist and Osiris Media co-founder Tom Marshall will bring his live improv series, The DAB Sessions, to swanky lower-Manhattan lounge Le Poisson Rouge on Wednesday, 12/29. Marshall has assembled some of the best and most unique creative minds in the music world for this NYC DAB Session including enigmatic bassist MonoNeon (Prince, Ghost-Note), legendary avant-garde keyboardist John Medeski, The New Mastersounds guitarist Eddie Roberts, and The Chase Brothers. With so much talent in one room, this one-time-only session is bound to be a thrilling affair.
Medeski and MonoNeon, in particular, have shown flashes of collaborative greatness in the past. Prepare for The DAB Sessions with some mind-bending footage of their Neon-Medeski set from Jazz Fest after dark in 2018.

A Phish After-Party w/ Neighbor – The Cutting Room – Thu, 12/30/21
Neighbor has been quick to make waves in the Northeast jam scene since forming in 2019. The quartet, which features familiar faces like Lyle Brewer (guitar), Dean Johnston (drums), Dan Kelly (bass, The New Motif), and Richard James (keys, Pink Talking Fish), made even more noise this summer when it hired a plane to fly a banner over The Peach Music Festival publicizing the band’s late-night set. In September, Neighbor once again grabbed headline with an hour-long “Free Bird” jam featuring a host of other “Free” songs (take that, “Play Free Bird” guy). Don’t miss out on this chance to see what all the fuss is about at The Cutting Room on 12/30. Tickets are cheap and moving fast.
Venue: The Cutting Room – 44 E 32nd St, New York, NY
Date/Time: Thursday, December 30th, 2021, 11:59. p.m.
Tickets: $15.00
A Phish After-Party w/ The James Brown Dance Party: The Funkiest All-Star Tribute In Show Business ft. Giant Country Horns, Dezron Douglas, Robert Walter, Eddie Roberts, The Chase Brothers – Le Poisson Rouge Thu, 12/30/21
A Phish After-Party tradition, the James Brown Dance Party is back and ready to get down at Le Poisson Rouge on Thursday, December 30th. The all-star lineup for this Chase Brothers-led tribute to the Godfather of Soul is always rotating, and Phish fans in New York this December are sure to love the latest iteration. In addition to Eddie Roberts (The New Mastersounds) on guitar and Chris Rob (Craig Robinson & The Nasty Delicious) on keys, the lineup will be rounded out by a slew of Phish-y collaborators—Mike Gordon organist all-around B3 wizard Robert Walter, fantastic new Trey Anastasio Band bassist Dezron Douglas, and the reunion of former Phish horn section The Giant Country Horns. You just watched the Russ Remington (tenor sax), Carl Gerhard (trumpet), and Dave Grippo (alto sax) play the 7/20/91 show on Dinner and a Movie this past summer. Now, come watch them in action live and in person.

A Phish After-Party w/ Dogs In A Pile – The Cutting Room – Sat, 1/1/22
The young musicians in Dogs In A Pile may still be cutting their teeth, but this band’s bark is as fearsome as its bite. Brian Murray (guitar), Jimmy Law (guitar), Jeremy Kaplan (keys), Joe Babick (drums), and Sam Lucid (bass) are Berklee College-trained, Asbury Park-bred, and well-schooled on their high-energy jam fore-bearers. Head out to The Cutting Room on New Year’s Day to watch these Dogs in action.

Date/Time: Saturday, January 1st, 2021, 11:55. p.m.
