Big Shrimp is a high-octane progressive improvised rock quartet formed in 2024 in Bridgeport, Connecticut, blending danceable funk, exploratory rock, and fearless improvisation into a sound that's as intricate as it is infectious. Built on hook-forward songwriting shared by all four members, Jared Sage Cowen (guitar/vocals), Max Perrotti (bass/vocals), Daniel Cohen (keys/vocals), and Henry Thomas (drums/vocals), the band has quickly earned national attention.
Known for adventurous live performances that blur the line between tightly crafted compositions and spontaneous exploration, Big Shrimp has a fiercely loyal fanbase known as the Prawn Stars. With all four members contributing songs, vocals, and improvisational ideas, no two performances are alike. The chemistry that has become one of the band's defining characteristics and helped establish them as one of the fastest-rising independent acts in the modern jam scene.
That momentum exploded in 2026 with the band's 30+ date It's As Shrimple As That Tour, headlining rooms including the Aggie Theatre, Cervantes' Other Side, Buffalo Iron Works, Garcia's Chicago, Richmond Music Hall, Charleston Pour House, and dozens of additional markets nationwide. The tour culminated in the release of The Prawno Tapes, Vol. 4, a live album capturing the strongest improvisational moments from the run and featuring special guest Ryan Dempsey of Twiddle, who joined the band for several performances throughout the tour.
Building on that momentum, Big Shrimp spent Summer 2026 following Phish throughout the Northeast with its "We've Got It Shrimple" after-party series. The run packed venues across the East Coast, sold out three performances, and introduced hundreds of new fans to the band's explosive late-night shows.
On the studio front, Big Shrimp continues to build anticipation for the release of Visions, the band's 13-track debut studio album, arriving Christmas Day, December 25, 2026. Following the releases of "Rex" and "Alcaworkholic" earlier in the year, the band's latest single, "Tired Eyes," offers another glimpse into the group's evolving sound and songwriting as they prepare for their first full-length studio release.
