To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Phish’s Farmhouse, JamBase assembled a slew of musicians to recreate the LP in a new project dubbed The Cluster Flies.

According to a press release, “The limited-edition 3LP release features custom artwork and a poster designed by Phish collaborator Jim Pollock. Phish covers were recorded by Umphrey’s McGee’s Brendan Bayliss, Club d’Elf, Daniel Donato, Chris Forsyth, Neal Francis, Jennifer Hartswick, Amy Helm, Lindsay Lou, Reed Mathis, White Denim’s James Petralli, Strand Of Oaks, Sylvan Esso, William Tyler, Sadler Vaden, Vetiver, Ryley Walker, and a supergroup led by Tim Palmieri.”

Each track will be debuted daily, with style, by JamBase, and a few will even appear on SiriusXM’s Phish Radio.

Fans can look forward to hearing Bayliss’ take on “Twist,” Hartswick’s take on “Dirt” and many more.
