The Mockingbird Foundation is a non-profit organization founded by Phish fans in 1996 to generate charitable proceeds from the Phish community.
And since we're entirely volunteer – with no office, salaries, or paid staff – administrative costs are less than 2% of revenues! So far, we've distributed over $2 million to support music education for children – hundreds of grants in all 50 states, with more on the way.
For me, 2015 was the year in which that qualifier could be dropped entirely, and with the exception of a little engine-sputtering in 2016, we've remained there since. I'll definitely agree that there isn't a singular moment in 2015 on which everything pivots, but for me, as I was following the 2015 tour in anticipation of the Blossom show (which was my first since 2009), when I saw the setlist of and then listened to 7/31/2015, it was a moment of clarity at least for me. I knew then we were well past the days of giving a show like Utica 2010 a deluxe release because it kinda-sorta brought us back to the halcyon days; instead, we were legitimately in a later-period golden age.
