In case you needed another reminder that Bernie Sanders is from Vermont and is a Phish fan, you got it right here as Jon Fishman (whose Twitter account exists solely to promote the Democratic candidate) introduced Sanders at an event today in Portland, ME following Super Tuesday. While at the rally, the Phish drummer also sat in with the Maine-based group e Kenya Hall Band. 

When Sanders took the stage, he said the following, including some glowing words for Phish who he says “have made Vermont proud” along with calling them “one of the great bands in this country.” Watch below.
