Win Free Tickets To See Pink Talking Fish At WorkPlay Theatre (Weds. 3/2) February 23, 2016 17:00

Live & Listen is excited to announce that we are teaming up with our friends at WorkPlay in Birmingham, AL for multiple ticket giveaways this Spring and Summer.  Next up is one of the hottest bands on the jam/festival scene, Pink Talking Fish, who brings their extensive national tour to Birmingham, AL on Wednesday, March 2nd.  See below for complete details on how you can win a free pair of tickets to the show.

Pink Talking Fish: Bio

Pink Talking Fish is a hybrid tribute fusion act that takes the music from three of the world's most beloved bands and creates a special treat for fans of the music.  See below for details on our exclusive ticket giveaway.  Pink Floyd, The Talking Heads and Phish are all more than just bands... they are phenomenons.  Their creations have artistically inspired people and their mindblowing live performances have brought people together to form a special sense of community around the love for their favorite band.

Although the music from each act is different, Pink Talking Fish has discovered that fusing the material together creates an amazing story.  The epic emotion of Pink Floyd.... The funky, danceable layerings of The Talking Heads.... The multitude of styles, unique compositional structures and pure fun of Phish.... to merge these three into one gives music lovers a special experience.

Pink Talking Fish features Eric Gould on bass, Richard James on keyboards, Zack Burwick on drums and Dave Brunyak on guitar.  This is a band created by musicians who love the music of these acts.  It's purpose is to heighten people's passion for this music by creating something fresh and exciting for fans.  

Discovering connections is part of the fun:  Pink Floyd's "On The Run" seamlessly fitting in the middle of the composition of Phish's "You Enjoy Myself".  Perfectly placing Phish's "Sand" into the groove of The Talking Head's "Slippery People".  Segued collections from all three acts such as Run Like Hell > Making Flippy Floppy > Piper > Run Like Hell or Mike's Song > Have A Cigar > Once In A Lifetime > Weekapaug Groove.  These ideas are the spirit behind Pink Talking Fish.

We have one pair of tickets to giveaway, and we will announce a winner at 3:00 PM CST on Friday (2/26). The winner's name (+1 guest) will be placed on the list at Will Call at WorkPlay on Friday night.
