Friday, September 12, the second day of the Mulberry Mountain Harvest Music Festival, promises to build on the already solid first day of music. There will be twice as many performances on Friday than there were on Thursday, but the schedule is so well laid-out that you can easily catch every single band if you want to (and we do!). The Campground Stage and Main Stage will be open for business, offering up a plethora of performers to help you get your groove on.

Musicians slated to appear on the Main Stage on Friday are Oakhurst, Great American Taxi, New Monsoon, Split Lip Rayfield, The Avett Brothers, and Leftover Salmon.

Heating up the Campground Stage will be Shannon Wurst with 3 Penny Acre, Elephant Revival Concept, Speakeasy, Family Groove Company, and Blue Turtle Seduction.

Closing things out with a late-night set on the Harvest Tent Stage will be BoomBox.

Mike Gordon with Trey Anastasio & Jon Fishman at Rothbury

Finally...the news that I, along with many others, have been awaiting for quite some time. Trey Anastasio, Page McConnell, Jon Fishman and Mike Gordon took the stage to play together live for the first time since Phish's "break-up", over four years ago. Coming together to celebrate the wedding of their road manager, the members of Vermont-bred improvisational rock group played through three of their classics. Yes!

Phish reunited this evening at the wedding of longtime road manager Brad Sands. The four musicians took the stage during the private New York ceremony for a three-song performance that included Phish chestnuts “Suzy Greenberg,” “Julius” and “Waste.” Police drummer Stewart Copeland also sat in with Sands’ wedding band on the Police’s “Can’t Stand Losing You” and The Meters’ “Fire on the Bayou.” Sands served as the Police’s road manager throughout the group’s high-profile reunion tour. Phish last performed together in Coventry, VT in August, 2004.
