How does a jam rock band play for an hour straight - or stay together for over 40 years?

In our 18th episode of The Innerversal Podcast , we sit down with Jon Fishman of Phish to talk about the intersections of psychology and music.

We discuss the upbringing that enabled artistry, what happens during an extended improvisational jam, stage fright - and a paradoxical way to fight against it - and how the band has managed to evolve without falling apart.

We also discuss his writing process, the endless list of musical artists that inspire him today and back when the band first formed in 1983 - including over 25 artists from around the world - where politics belong in music, what fame and success can do to musicians, and what aspiring artists should consider before deciding to pursue music full-time.
