They’re comin’ to your town, they’ll help you party down! Cliffside Push stands as the premiere Phish Experience Band based out of Connecticut, bringing the euphoria of Vermont's finest quartet to stages far and wide.
Comprising a supergroup lineup of seasoned all-star musicians, Cliffside Push brings together a powerhouse lineup with credentials that shine brightly across the Northeast music scene. Wiley Griffin, known for his machine gun shred and blissful peaking performances formerly with Teddy Midnight, leads the band on guitar. Anchoring the groove on bass is the powerhouse Alex Wu, a rhythm master with the Connecticut jam scene staple, Creamery Station. On the keys, the prolific and versatile Kiran Edwards, who is deeply ingrained in the Connecticut music scene, notably recognized for his work with the emerging young sensation, Residual Groove. And keeping in time with the Jon Fishman drum grooves all night long is none other than Suman Mitra, the rhythmic engine behind Sushi Grade Panda.
From intimate venues to large festivals, Cliffside Push has won over their audiences with their faithful renditions and infectious energy. Drawing from Phish's vast and most complex catalog, they weave intricate tapestries of sound, and bring dance parties with jaw dropping melodic peaks to devoted “phans” around the country.
“Phish music is so unique to say the least so the fact a cover band was able to come in and deliver a performance that had a crowd full of OG phish “phans” dancing and singing along to every song was such a great vibe.” – Mirth-Films (2024)
As they venture into 2024, Cliffside Push remains steadfast in their commitment to pushing boundaries and perfecting their craft. With each performance, they leave audiences clamoring for more, ensuring that the magic of Phish is done justice in all its glory.
