Helping Phriendly Orchestra - Tribute to Phish Tickets

Based in Chicago since July 2010, Helping Phriendly Orchestra (HPO) delivers high-energy, full-show recreations of Phish with faithful improvisational jams that capture the spirit of the original performances. Known for tight musicianship and dynamic live experiences, HPO has carved out a dedicated following by focusing on the feel of a Phish show rather than studio polish. The band is fronted by Mark Hague (guitar/vocals) and features Rich Fobes (keys/vocals), Garrett Degnan (bass/vocals), and Mike Schroeder (drums/vocals).

From small club stages to larger rooms, HPO’s performances are built around musical exploration, crowd engagement, and the seamless flow of live improvisation. While their public discography centers on live performances rather than official studio releases, each show is a unique, one-of-a-kind experience that can’t be replicated in a recording studio.

Upcoming appearances include collaborations like Peach Jam, an Allman Brothers tribute, with shows planned at The Acorn in Three Oaks, MI on Sept 13, 2025, and Plymouth, IN on Feb 22, 2025. A Joe’s Live Rosemont engagement on Dec 19, 2025 features Peach Jam as part of the lineup. If you’re looking to secure seats for a night of extended jams and precise homage to Phish, we’ve got you covered.
