A Thanksgiving tradition that must be listened to. "You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant!” Happy Thanksgiving!

Who are you sitting next to?

Thankful for the opportunity to give back to our local community. Announcing the 2021 #Frendsgiving Non-Perishable Food Drive! Please bring (non-expired) soups, pastas, beans, canned vegetables, and other non-perishable options. There will be tables at the entrance collecting contributions from 6PM to 9PM on both nights of @twiddlemusic. You may also bring your donations to Frend Art on Saturday at @garciasatthecap (1PM to 5PM). Bring 10 items or more and receive a FREE 2021 Frendsgiving Squirrel Pin (while supplies last). We are so grateful for our fans who give back so generously.

31 years ago today, @Phish and Savoy Truffle historically played the very first Thanksgiving Jam at The Capitol Theatre. It was Phish's second show at The Cap and the flyers read “100% Pure Phish." Highlights include Trey dedicating "The Squirming Coil" to "friends at Conjunction Junction, who are the only other people we know who can play this song.” He also dedicated the song to his parents who were in attendance.
