Always fun to take a trip down memory lane, thanks for the memories Pink Talking Fish!!

Hey everybody! Eric here.
I'm really missing writing and performing PTF Setlists. Seems like it might be a minute before that happens again...
So instead I'm gonna take a trip down memory lane and have some fun with you all:

Every day, I'll be posting one of my favorite setlists from each year of PTF. Today I'm starting with 2013. Feel free to share any thoughts or your own experiences with the band based on the year, any songs from the list, or anything you're feeling at all. We would LOVE to hear from you!

Okay, here we go!

September 26th, 2013 in Breckenridge CO
This was the very first Pink Talking Fish performance!

I had the idea for this band earlier in the year and told Denver Promoter, Jay Bianchi, about it. He loved the concept and offered me a 2 night run in Denver. I tacked on a warmup show in Breck and we were off to the races!

PTF was a revolving lineup for the first couple years. The lineup for this debut was me on bass, Brandon Draper on drums, Ben Combe on guitar and Ben Hutchinson on keys. We rehearsed in Denver at Quixote's True Blue all day on Wednesday and on Thursday afternoon. The tunes came together, the transitions got created and we were ready to begin.

Breckenridge is a fantastic music town and the place was packed with people who were intrigued by the concept. When we launched into the first segment, everybody got it. The energy was alive! 2001 > Young Lust > Slippery People > Sand > Slippery People. This set the pace to a whole new adventure.

Some other combinations born on that night which have become dear to my heart:
YEM > On The Run > YEM
Big Business > Interstellar Overdrive > Big Business

Big thanks to Matthew Karukin and three20south for hosting the birth of Pink Talking Fish.

See you all tomorrow for 2014!

With lots of historic things going down at MSG this week, we figured it was fitting to flashback to back to another legendary run at the Garden when Branford Marsalis & Bruce Hornsby joined Grateful Dead in the fall of 1991. We're excited to see Branford in next Wednesday night (8/2) when the Breckenridge Music Festival welcomes him for the final concert of 2017. Don't miss your chance to see this critically acclaimed master in our little town if you can.

Tonight's the night! Saturday July 15th The Motet with Festival String Quartet at Riverwalk Center This a not to be missed show! tickets going fast but still available, grab em here > http://bit.ly/2td6d3e

Quotes from the band on this special event
"Having a live string section is something I've always wanted to have at a Motet show. This show will feature the Festival String Quartet playing parts from our last two records. When the band plays live, the horn players tend to cover the string parts, but now we've been presented with the unique opportunity to have the Violin, Viola and Cello parts from our albums performed live!'

"To some extent, every member of the Motet has a "classical" background in one way or another. We are all trained musicians and always enjoy getting to collaborate with others of the same dedication to their artistry. Though we (The Motet) have traversed a different musical path than the string section joining us, we all have the same love of music and wish to perpetuate a world where people of all ages have an appreciation for live musicians playing and recording live music! "

The Motet has been bridging the gap between funk and soul since 1998. This weekend, they take on another musical fusion in their collaboration with the Breckenridge Musical Festival’s
