Page McConnell talks Phish’s summer tour and why he revived Vida Blue. Listen to an epic new track from his psych-rock project here
Rene Huemer*were at the peak of their first wave of success, but the band’s piano player Page McConnell was looking for a new challenge. Then he went to see the Funky Meters play New York City’s Irving Plaza. Watching his friend Russell Batiste Jr. drum behind the R&B legends, McConnell says, “It just kind of hit me: ‘I know Russell, I could ask him to be in a band with me. I think the next week, I went to see the Allman Brothers and saw Oteil.
I sort of toyed with the idea of getting back together with those guys. Then, 15 years later, around 2017, I had enough material that I felt would be a good start for that band, and decided to add Adam as well. I decided if I was gonna get the band together, I wanted to bring him along. I made that decision a long time ago.It’s almost the other way around, because if you listen to the first album I did in 2001, most of the album was that.
I just saw Oteil play with Soulive over the weekend at Brooklyn Bowl and it’s pretty incredible to watch what he can do up close.
