Distillation of a Dream, which is dropping via Royal Potato Family on October 2 and is available for pre-order now, features 15 Phish covers three of which were transcribed from live renditions.
Holly's note-for-note transcription of the "Tahoe Tweezer" is what started Bowling on the journey that led to her debut album. "I fall in love with the 'Tahoe Tweezer' all over again every time I play it. I hope it has the same effect on the listener. If I can capture just a little bit of the energy we all felt when Phish played that 'Tweezer' in Tahoe two years ago and create another way to bring people back to that moment, or give the listener a new window into the jam to discover something they didn’t hear before, then I’ve succeeded. I think when you change the instrumentation, it forces people to listen with different ears and approach the music with a different set of expectations. Even people who don’t consider themselves Phish fans hear the music in this format, without preconceptions, and realize what an incredible piece of work Phish has created here.”
With that in mind, here's the exclusive premiere of Bowling's "Tahoe Tweezer":
