\'PAGE MCCONNELL\' IN STORES APRIL 17
We\'re excited to announce that Legacy Recordings will release Page McConnell, the much anticipated debut solo album from the keyboardist/songwriter, on April 17.

Page composed nine new pieces for this first solo album, which introduces fascinating new musical facets and lyrical concerns from an ever-evolving artist. Page McConnell combines the signature heartfelt vocals, memorable musical hooks, and complex animated improvisations that made his contributions to Phish so vital.

McConnell says of the album, "I started working on it about two years ago, not with an end goal in mind, but for the joy of the process. As the project evolved, I realized the songs held together as a body of work with some recurring themes, especially that of new beginnings. The last few years have been a time of great personal and professional transition, and I think that\'s reflected in the album."

Page worked closely throughout with engineer and co-producer Jared Slomoff, drummer Jon Fishman and guitarist Adam Zimmon. Mike Gordon and Trey Anastasio make significant contributions. The album also features legendary drummer Jim Keltner (John Lennon, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones) about whom Page says, "He\'s great -- the real deal. As soon as he walked in the studio we started tracking. Of course I was aware of his musicianship from the studio work he\'s done, but what I realized playing with him was just how far he could stretch things out. He was inspired, and inspiring to me."

Page McConnell was recorded in Vermont and Brooklyn between January 2005 and June 2006 and was mixed by Bryce Goggin, who first worked with Page in 1999 as producer on Phish\'s Farmhouse. Stay tuned to Phish.com and PageMcConnell.com for more information as we get closer to the album\'s release date.

I *loved* pages set. Wish they let me edit the video we did, but oh well, when Shapiro says you can tape as long as you hand me all of the tapes when you\'re done, your hands are kind of tied. Glad we got to at least archive it though. I can\'t wait for this album. :banana:

i thought that set was boring as all hell.  i made my way back to camp about halfway thru the second song.  could hear the rest from there, but it wasn\'t anything that moved me to get my ass back on the hill.
