The State Theatre will Big Eyed Phish: A Dave Matthews Band Tribute on Friday, September 17th, 2021.

Big Eyed Phish delivers a high-energy audio and visual experiences intending to immerse the audience in a feeling of seeing and hearing the real band, while giving much more than just a recreation of the songs from an album and focuses their efforts to truly put on a show that mirrors the Dave Matthews Band live experience. From the incredible musicianship, the soulful lyrics, the rocking solos and jams, and even the witty stage banter Dave Matthews is known for - Big Eyed Phish delivers on all aspects.

The band is led by front man Brandon Depaul, the founder of the former DMB Tribute: Tripping Billies. He is backed up by a great band of truly professional musicians and is the only DMB Tribute that can claim to have a full-time lead guitar and keyboard player. This allows them to be the only accurate DMB Tribute in the country able to cover the full spectrum of the DMB catalog throughout the lineup changes seen in the Dave Matthews Band.

Each show is unique with a blend of mega-hits to dance to as well as some deep tracks for the more dedicated DMB fanbase. There are over 75 songs in their catalog combining Dave Matthews Band's original tunes as well as some songs that DMB is known to cover. This band will leave people saying, "I feel like I just left a live Dave Matthews show!"

Show time is 8:00PM. Tickets are $25 and are on sale now. Tickets and memberships can be purchased 24 hours a day at www.statetheatre.org. State Theatre Memberships begin at $75 for one year.
