Phish’s Jon Fishman Is Leading A Meet And Greet For The Bernie Sanders Campaign
The love between Phish and Bernie Sanders is strong. The Presidential candidate recently praised Phish as “one of the great bands of this country,” as the group’s drummer, Jon Fishman, has been hot on the campaign trail from the very beginning.Apparently Fishman is so involved with the campaign, that he’ll be hosting his own event. According to NBC 10, Fishman will appear at North Bowl at 909 N. 2nd St tomorrow night, from 9pm through midnight. He’ll be greeting supporters and encouraging citizens to register and vote in the Pennsylvania primary, which is scheduled for April 26th.Monday is also the deadline for PA voters to register, in order to be eligible for the primary. Fishman has been involved with Sanders’ campaign from the getgo, as he said back in August of 2015, “This is the political equivalent of having the ability to draft Michael Jordan coming out of the University of North Carolina. It’s our turn to pick, and Michael Jordan is available.” While Fishman has performed at a number of Sanders events, this seems to be the first that he’ll be leading himself. Make sure to get out and vote!
