Page McConnell sit-ins are a rare breed. Outside of his main gig with Phish and his performances with The Meter Men, the keyboardist had only performed publicly with two other bands over the past five years: Grace Potter & The Nocturnals (September 15, 2012) and Mike Gordon (April 6, 2014). We now have a third band to add to that list as Page performed with Twiddle on Saturday night at Waterfront Park in Burlington.

McConnell emerged towards the beginning of Twiddle’s second set to lend a hand on the original “When It Rains, It Poors.” Fellow keyboardist Holly Bowling was also on stage stemming from her “tweener” set in between Twiddle performances. Holly sat-in on the “Hatti’s Jam” that opened the second set as well as the aforementioned “When It Rains, It Poors.” Page’s appearance was the climax to a packed two days of music at Twiddle’s inaugural Tumble Down Festival. In addition to two sets of Twiddle and the Holly set, festivalgoers were treated to performances from Cabinet and Nahko and Medicine For The People on Saturday. Twiddle also welcomed Dopapod’s Scotty Zwang to sit-in on “Lost In The Cold” towards the end of the second set.
