Fish

Fish is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of Kiki Dee, Grateful Dead, Violent Femmes, Santana and Alison Krauss. Those roots explain a lot about how Fish arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Steve Hackett, The Flower Kings, Tony Banks, Lunatic Soul and Jethro Tull, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Blues Traveler, Widespread Panic, No Prayer for the Dying, Sam Brown and Fabri Fibra, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 26 connections around Fish, reaching back through Kiki Dee and forward to Blues Traveler. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
