This has not been announced on the Higher Ground website, but according to an article in the Burlington Free Press here, Page McConnell and Jon Fishman will join other Vermont musicians including Russ Lawton and Ray Paczkowski (both of whom play with TAB), Bob Wagner, Joshua Panda, Jer Coons and others for a benefit performance at the South Burlington nightspot on Februrary 3rd.  The show will benefit Pete's Greens, a northern Vermont organic farm which suffered a fire last month.

More details will be available on Brent Hallenbeck's blog, Brent's Notebook, on the Free Press site which broke the story, as well as the Higher Ground website.

Tickets are expected to go on sale at 11 am tomorrow, Friday, January 28.

UPDATE:  Tickets are not on sale yet, but a "bookmarkable" ticketing page is up on Higher Ground's website for the February 3 benefit event here.

UPDATE 2: Thanks to @johnnyd and @joechip for correcting earlier mistakes in this posting!

Today, we're very excited to announce another great enhancement on the Phish.net site.  Recently, as some of you net-savvy folks may be aware, we've had several outages with our blog.  Our blog is was hosted over at Tumblr, a startup microblogging service.  We've enjoyed partnering with Tumblr, they have an awesome and simple interface and a lot of great ideas, but a combination of factors including flaky reliability and lack of integration ultimately led to the decision to bring our blog in house.  So, today, we're unveiling our new blog.  

You will now be able to comment on our blog entries using your Phish.net account.  Your profile will track your blog comments just like your other comments on the site.  And, perhaps most importantly, the experience will be consistent throughout phish.net.

For a limited time, the blog archive will be available at phishnet.tumblr.com.  Our goal is to import those entries into our blog here and eventually, phase out the old archive.  

Don't worry, none of your favorite features are going away! We'll still post images, videos, and our weekly Mystery Jam, as well as feature articles by the Phish.net staff.
