 Press Room: Mockingbird in the Media

This page archives press releases and flyers published by the Foundation, as well as coverage of the Foundation by other media outlets. Two summary batches may also be downloaded, a two-part press kit with basic facts and sample coverage.

Also, see our archive of previous headlines from our homepage, including briefs on the press releases below as well as relevant announcements about Mockingbird supporters, partners, contests, merchandise, and more.

Please direct all inquiries about the Foundation or its projects to:

(Recognize that neither Chip nor anyone else associated with the Mockingbird Foundation is a source for contact information for Phish, their management, or their lyricists (including Tom Marshall), nor for access to tickets, band photos, passes, or the like. We're just fans, trying to do a good thing in our spare time.)
