The all-volunteer, fan-run Mockingbird Foundation is once again celebrating Phish tour by making unsolicited Tour Grants supporting a music program near each of the venues at which the band will perform. This series of Tour Grants covers all of the U.S. locations Phish will play during the band's 2019 Summer Tour.

In honor of Phish's upcoming shows at Merriweather Park Pavilion, June 22nd and 23rd, the Mockingbird Foundation is sending a check for $1500 to the Atholton Music Boosters to support music programs barely three miles from the venue, at Atholton High School in Columbia, MD.

This is Mockingbird's 6th grant in Maryland, and our 406th grant overall. The Foundation has now disbursed $149,000 in Tour Grants, 10% of its more than $1.4M in grants covering all 50 states. Watch for news posts here at Phish.net, or the evolving press release at mbird.org, for news on other "miracle" tour grants this summer. And please consider making a contribution, to help us give back to the communities we've touched.
