Timeline
Jon Fishman (born February 19, 1965) is an American drummer and co-founder of the band Phish, which was, in part, named after him.
He is credited with co-writing nineteen Phish songs, eight with a solo credit.
Fishman was born in Philadelphia and grew up in Syracuse, New York.
He went to Jamesville-Dewitt High School in a suburb of Syracuse.
The currently in-use model is circa 1965.
On rare occasions, Fishman will play the theremin.
Perhaps the most recognizable part of his kit however, is the orange circle print muumuu he wears almost every performance and as such has become a de facto symbol of the band.
He has been known to wear other clothes with the orange symbol as well.
Fishman was a past member of the Vermont band "Touchpants" and no longer participates.
He also used to play drums in the rock band Pork Tornado, and performed with the Jazz Mandolin Project for several years.
He has been a member of two large musical collectives, The Everyone Orchestra and The Village.
An earlier, 1967 model was donated to the Hard Rock Cafe 1/29/93.
After graduation in 1983, he attended the University of Vermont to study engineering.
Deciding against engineering, he and Anastasio transferred to Goddard College.
The band Phish was named after him (he is commonly referred to as "Fish" among many other nicknames) though other explanations for the name have been given.
In addition to drumming, he also sings back-up vocals and occasionally lead-vocals (usually on cover songs, most of them humorous – the best examples are Prince's "Purple Rain", Syd Barrett’s "Love You", and "Terrapin", Neil Diamond's "Cracklin' Rosie", Will Smith's song "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It", and Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd's "Bike").
Worthy of note are his more serious vocal efforts, including lead vocals on Phish's cover of the Talking Heads song "Crosseyed and Painless", and his vocal duties on the Phish originals, "The Moma Dance", "Taste", and "Ghost".
He is well known on tour for his Electrolux vacuum cleaner solos and playing while wearing a donut-printed muumuu dress.
He has admitted to taking acid before playing early in the band's career.
Fishman regularly performs with Phish wearing a blue muumuu dress with a pattern of red annuli.
Fishman's Vacuum-A baby blue Electrolux vacuum cleaner (a.k.a. the vac or 'lux) has been in the repertoire (played as an instrument by Fishman) since circa 1989.
In 2007, he emerged from semi-retirement to perform a series of shows with the Yonder Mountain String Band, including a large portion of their set at the Rothbury Music Festival which happened the summer of 2008.
The Mimi Fishman Foundation is a nonprofit organization started by Jon to raise money for various charities, especially for charities that benefit the visually impaired.
The charity was named for Jon's mother, Mimi, who was diagnosed with glaucoma.
Fishman was also announced as a member of fellow Phish member Trey Anastasio's new side-project Ghosts of the Forest.
Fishman and his five children Ella Cynthia, 21, Jack Bradley, 19, Rose (Rosie) Lorelei, 15, Lily Millay, 12, Fredrick (Freddie) George, 9, live in Lincolnville, Maine.
In 2015, Phish filed to trademark the pattern on Fishman's dress, but the request was tentatively denied by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Fishman uses a variety of drums and cymbals on his kit; brands such as Noble & Cooley, Gretsch, Ludwig, Yamaha, Ayotte, Eames, Zildjian, Sabian, Paiste, and Wuhan.
He also uses Remo drum heads, Vic Firth drum sticks, and LP percussion accessories.
He uses an LP Black Beauty cowbell, an LP Rock Ridge Rider cowbell, and a set of 4 LP temple blocks.
He uses Vic Firth drum sticks.
His preferred "perfect pair" is the Peter Erskine Ride Stick and the SD4 Combo.
He uses TG12 Sticks for practice, Vic Firth and Regal Tip Brushes, and Vic Firth T1 Mallets.
The family appeared on an episode of the Magnolia Network home restoration series Maine Cabin Masters in March 2018.
