One of the reasons John Rider started #MaxCreek was to give people a place to call homeβ€”and this past weekend in Denver, this former New Englander felt just that. I’m so grateful for this band & the incredible community around it. Just wanted to sayβ€”thank you. Here are some shots from the weekend.

Today is a special day. I was 16 the first time I saw #MaxCreek live. The show changed my life. Seriously. I would have never guessed in a million years that I’d be seeing the band all these years later in Denver with my teenage daughterβ€”on my birthday, no less. Life is wild, my friends!

I can't stop listening to this Hood. Trey's sustain at the climax of the jam is simply jaw-dropping. After all these decades, I can't believe #phish is still playing at this level.

Episode 2: Reviewing Max Creek’s performance on Oct. 2, 2002 - Hooked on Creek Listen to a full review of Max Creek's performance on October 2, 2002, at Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel in Providence, Rhode Island.

As The Field builds, the singing and the guitar playing get increasingly entwined, beautifully trading voices and working together to summon the haunting tone that defines the classic Max Creek tune. hookedoncreek.com/2019/05/epis...

It seems only right to dedicate my first Bluesky post to my little tuxedo cat, who has recently passed.
