Phish bassist Mike Gordon is currently making his way around the nation on a 17-date Fall Tour in support of his newly released album, OGOGO. In addition to the scheduled performances, Gordon announced two intimate daytime performances/autograph signings in local record stores. The first of the pair was yesterday, Thursday, September 28th, at The Sound Garden in Syracuse, New York, prior to Mike’s scheduled performance at Syracuse’s Wescott Theatre tonight, Friday, September 29th.

Mike Gordon Brings “Trapezoidal Sunshine” To New Haven

Roughly 100 fans showed up for the lunchtime show, for which he played three tracks from OGOGO: “Victim,” “Stealing Jamaica,” and lead single “Steps.” “We’ve been working on these songs for a year but we still don’t really know what they’re about,” said Gordon to his unusually small audience, “It could be the light side of darkness. Or the mushy side of solidness.”
