Behold the Spectacle of Phish Performing on The Tonight Show: Watch

Phish ’s new album album, Evolve , has officially arrived . To support the release of their 16th studio release, the band appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday night for a performance of its title track, “Evolve.”

Taking The Tonight Show stage, Phish locked into an easy-flowing groove for the performance of “Evolve,” delivering the song’s reflective lyrics over a warm, mid-tempo arrangement. Leaning into their jammy tendencies, guitarist Trey Anastasio and keyboardist Page McConnell each take solos, as the musical ideas interplay underneath. Watch a video of the performance below.

Announced this past April, Evolve is Phish’s first new album in four years, following 2020’s Sigma Oasis . Spanning 12 tracks, the record captures the band’s road-worn sound, featuring songs that decorated the band’s setlists at their recent Sphere residency.

Some songs — like the single “Hey Stranger” and the title track itself — were even released previously on solo releases by Anastasio, but hearing them in the full context of Phish reinforces the band’s reputation for world-class musical chemistry. Anastasio’s guitar lines weave together with counterparts from McConnell, as Jon Fishman and Mike Gordon provide the engine beneath, elevating the arrangements with refined grooves and dynamic swells of energy.

Stream Evolve in its entirety on Apple Music or Spotify below. You can also pick it up on prismatic velvet tones 2xLP vinyl here .

Up next, Phish will kick off their 2024 summer tour with a three-night run in Mansfield, Massachusetts starting on July 19th.
