Timeline:
1988 – 1999 – God Street Wine formed in NYC and rose up through the improvisational rock scene alongside bands like DMB, Phish, Blues Traveler and the Spin Doctors. They joined the H.O.R.D.E. Tour traveling festival in 1995 and 1996, recorded six albums and performed more than 1,000 shows in their 11 years together. They were pioneers in the early days of the Internet, building an email list of 15,000-plus “Winos,” as their fans were affectionately known, and producing one of the first band websites.
