Based out of Rochester, NY, Big Eyed Phish is the only touring full 8-piece Dave Matthews Tribute in the country. With nearly 2 decades of live show experience together, they have grown to become a highly sought-after headlining act in the region.  They are the only DMB Tribute that can claim to have all instrumentation of the DMB lineup throughout the years. This allows them accurately cover the full spectrum of the DMB catalog!

Big Eyed Phish focuses on the live performance atmosphere that the DMB is known for. You will hear live versions of songs with improvisation that ensures no 2 shows are the same. This not a bunch of musicians pulled together at the last minute to play CD-versions of songs but rather the same talented group who are able to imitate the live concert experience! From "Ants Marching" and "Crash", to deeper cuts like "The Stone", "Warehouse" (Woo!), "The Last Stop", and "Dreaming Tree", Big Eyed Phish brings the live Dave Matthews Band concert experience to a wide range of high-quality venues and events with 100+ DMB songs in their catalog. You will even hear some of the cover songs that the DMB is known for, along with a Phish tease or two!  They have been a headlining act in many festivals, events, ski resorts, casinos, and top-quality live music venues around the north east.
