2008 Jammy Awards Honor Phish

PHISH TO RECEIVE LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
AT CELEBRATION OF ALL THINGS JAM

“I was so much older then I’m younger than that now…”

The Jammy Awards will return to The Theater at Madison Square Garden on May 7th. This year’s ceremony and all-star concert will mark the seventh installment of the The Jammys, and will feature a special Lifetime Achievement Award presentation to jamband giant, Phish.

“We are extremely proud to present our Lifetime Achievement Award to Phish,” says Jammys Executive Producer and Co-Creator Peter Shapiro. “Few bands have meant as much to the improvisational music community as they have, so celebrating their career is something that is a natural thing for us to do.”

Produced by Relix Magazine, Jambands.com and Shapiro, The Jammys has become one of New York City’s premiere events and one of the top grassroots music events in the world, hosting countless historic, once-in-a-lifetime musical moments, and drawing international acclaim for pairing the stars of the improvisational music scene with leading artists from across the musical spectrum.

The performers for this year’s concert, as well as this year’s award nominees will be announced in the coming weeks. Tickets go on-sale at Noon EST on March 20 via Ticketmaster and at the Madison Square Garden Box Office.
