Holly Bowling, grand pianist and Grateful Dead & Phish interpreter is back on the road for a late summer tour. Holly reconnects with Ghost Light for a string of fall dates after her solo dates.

One of Holly’s stops last week was the Bluebird Theater in Denver, CO. The first tune of the evening was a Phish rarity, “Col. Forbin’s Ascent.” The 15 minute take on the vintage Phish tune gave way to a gorgeous “Birdsong.” For the rest of the show, Holly volleyed between Dead and Phish tunes effortlessly, blending two of the greatest catalogues in the jam band cannon from behind a grand piano.

Holly released some footage of her masterful cover of “Mercury” on her YouTube channel.
