Family Tape Tree
”Family Tape Tree” is a surreal and absurd fictional podcasted rooted in the world of the improvisational jam band, Phish. It follows Lexi, a sensitive and surly teen, who discovers her deceased father’s collection of Phish cassette tapes from the ’90s while packing for college. Through ”grief magic” Lexi travels into the tapes and relives those memories with younger versions of her parents and their friends. Over the course of several groove-based-psychedelic-infused-head-bobbing-adventures with the memory of her late father, Lexi learns to come to terms with his death and is able to look forward to her future. As much a story about loss and love as it is about parking lot grilled cheeses and heady jams, “Family Tape Tree” takes the listener through Phish’s vast history, to follow the story of a group of friends, a band, and the impossible task of processing loss. Absurd caricatures from the parking lot, toe-tapping grooves, and a sudden urge to call your parents; “Family Tape Tree” has something for everyone!
