Any Phish or Grateful Dead fans here? Music advice needed!

SmittenforSmith, on August 24, 2017 at 10:37 AM Posted in Planning 0 7

My FH and I are HUGE Phish fans. We have followed them all over, up and down the east coast for almost 10 years now. Of course, as I would imagine like any couple who follows phish, our song is waste. I cannot for the life of me decide if I want to walk down the aisle to Holly Bowlings cover, the bluegrass cover by Dennis "cannonball" Caplinger or just choose another song to walk down to and use Waste as our first dance song.

If you haven't heard of Holly Bowling check her out, she is incredible! Also the Bluegrass covers of Phish are amazing too.. the album I'm looking into is called "forever phishin"

Also for the Grateful Dead fans... Holly Bowling has an entire album "better left unsung" with piano covers of Dead songs.. should I play these while guests are being seated as prelude music for ceremony?

PS: we are doing our "grand entrance" to loving cup!

And don't worry 90% of the rest of the music played is non Phish or Dead (I know not everyone is a fan!)

    That sounds so fun! I'm currently trying to plan a festival type wedding, complete with camping. We got engaged at Playing in the Sand in Mexico w/Dead&Co. My FH is huge Phish fan. I would do more than 10% Phish/Dead music! It's your wedding, play what you enjoy, too!
