Marc Daubert was the percussionist for the rock band Phish
for a brief time in their early history, joining the band in September 1984 and leaving the band in February 1985.
Daubert was a close friend of guitarist Trey Anastasio
, who was suspended from the University of Vermont
in the spring of 1984. During his suspension, Phish went on temporary hiatus as Anastasio, Daubert, and lyricist/keyboardist Tom Marshall

When Anastasio returned to UVM in September 1984, he brought Daubert along and Phish officially hired him as percussionist. The most circulated Phish tape featuring Daubert is from a performance on December 1, 1984, at the legendary club Nectar's in downtown Burlington, Vermont
