Divided Sky A dynamic tribute to Phish, Divided Sky delivers the band’s adventurous spirit with favorites like “You Enjoy Myself,” “Bouncing Around the Room,” “Tweezer,” “Down with Disease,” and “Divided Sky.” Their sets blend faithful renditions with spontaneous improvisation, creating a true Phish-style experience. Touch of Grey Beloved among Deadheads, Touch of Grey brings the music of the Grateful Dead to life with authentic instrumentation and harmonies. Fans can expect classics such as “Touch of Grey,” “Scarlet Begonias,” “Friend of the Devil,” “Sugar Magnolia,” and “Truckin’.” Their shows mix fan favorites with deeper cuts, creating a communal, dance-friendly atmosphere. Animal Instincts Blending psychedelic rock, funk, and fusion, Animal Instincts delivers groove-driven originals and jam-inspired performances influenced by artists like The Meters, Frank Zappa, and Gov’t Mule. Their tight rhythms and improvisational flair keep audiences moving from the first note to the last.
