Phish‘s WaterWheel Foundation and the Mimi Fishman Foundation have teamed together once again with an on-line charity auction. The auction features ticket packages for the second leg of the Phish 2012 Summer tour.

Phish kicks off the second half of their 2012 Summer Tour on August 15 in Long Beach and concludes the tour on September 2 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park just outside of Denver. Stops along the way include a sold out three night run at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, their first ever show at the Zoo Amphitheatre in Oklahoma City, and an intimate outdoor performance at the Starlight Theatre in Kansas City.

100% of the funds raised will go directly to Phish’s WaterWheel Foundation which was created by Phish in 1997 to oversee the band’s various charitable activities.

The on-line auction is currently live with the bidding coming to close on Thursday, May 31.

To view and/or bid on the auction, as well as read about the charities the auction supports, please visit the Mimi Fishman Foundation Auction Page.

TOUR STARTS MAY 31 IN SAN DIEGO

LIVE! One Great Night, – a CD + DVD set to be released May 29, 2012 on the BFM Jazz label, captures Steve Smith and Vital Information in their natural habitat: A packed club with an audience of music lovers and the band in high gear, pulling out all the stops for the entire set.

The all-star lineup of keyboardist Tom Coster (Santana/Gabor Szabo), bassist Baron Browne (Jean-Luc Ponty/Billy Cobham), guitarist Vinny Valentino (Bill Evans/Jimmy McGriff) and drummer Steve Smith (Journey/Hiromi /Steps Ahead) serve up a veritable banquet of sounds, from slamming funk and syncopated second-line grooves to seriously swinging, up-tempo B-3 burners, South Indian inspired jams and sizzling fuzoid romps.

Now approaching their 30th year of touring and recording since their initial 1983 release, Steve Smith and Vital Information has become a formidable jazz/fusion juggernaut. Catch them on tour this May and June.
