Phish

Burlington jam quartet

Phish is an American rock band formed in 1983, known for lengthy improvisational jams and a devoted following reminiscent of the Grateful Dead's.

Fans often travel to multiple concerts on a tour: I'm seeing Phish three times this summer. (Lowercase phish is internet fraud.)
