What a wonderful project ❤️
One of the reasons John Rider started #MaxCreek was to give people a place to call home—and this past weekend in Denver, this former New Englander felt just that. I’m so grateful for this band & the incredible community around it. Just wanted to say—thank you. Here are some shots from the weekend.

Today is a special day. I was 16 the first time I saw #MaxCreek live. The show changed my life. Seriously. I would have never guessed in a million years that I’d be seeing the band all these years later in Denver with my teenage daughter—on my birthday, no less. Life is wild, my friends!

I recently visited Marin County and spent some time exploring old #GratefulDead haunts. Here are some pics of the adventure:

I can't stop listening to this Hood. Trey's sustain at the climax of the jam is simply jaw-dropping. After all these decades, I can't believe #phish is still playing at this level.
