Phish The band Phish was named after him (he is commonly referred to as ish among many other nicknames) though other explanations for the name have been given . Other than drumming, he also sings back-up vocals and occasionally lead-vocals (usually on cover songs, most of them humorous - the best example is Purple Rain). Worthy of note are his more serious vocal efforts, including lead vocals on Phish's cover of the Talking Heads song "Crosseyed and Painless," and his vocal duties on the Phish originals, "Moma Dance", "Taste", "Ghost." He is well-known on tour for his Electrolux vacuum cleaner solos and his distinctively-patterned frock (blue with red donuts).

As of late, he has been a member of two large musical collectives, The Everyone Orchestra and The Village. He is also a member of the Burlington, VT comedy troupe Touchpants with Colby Dix and Chris Friday and is their regular touring drummer. In 2007, he emerged from semi-retirement to perform a series of shows with the Yonder Mountain String Band, including a large portion of their set at the Rothbury Music Festival which happened the summer of 2008. Drug use Fishman and the other members of Phish, with the exception of Mike Gordon, were admitted psychedelic drug users. Fishman once claimed that for a whole year he would set his alarm clock for 5 AM, ingest some LSD, go back to sleep, and at 7:30 the acid would wake him up to go to school. He stated that this was the year in which he got his best grades. He also has claimed that he consumed LSD at every single gig during the first two years of the band's history.
