Coming off of a massive reunion year with his original band Phish, Trey Anastasio is getting back with his solo band for a series of dates in February. The first of these dates will be a benefit show at the Jefferson Theatre in Charlottesville, VA. The show will mark what would have been the 47th Birthday of Trey's sister, Kristy Anastasio Manning, who passed away last April from cancer. Kristy was an environmentalist and an author and was very instrumental in the early days of Phish. Proceeds from the show will go to the Kristine Anastasio Manning Memorial Fund, which supports many of the causes and charities she devoted herself to.
Trey's solo band has always played a mix of Phish songs, covers, and tunes from his various solo projects.
Anastasio will be accompanied by Russ Lawton on drums, Tony Markellis on bass, Ray Paczkowsi on keyboards, Russel Remington on tenor saxophone and flute, and Jen Hartswick on trumpet and vocals. New to the group this tour is Natalie Cressman on trombone and vocals who is taking the place of her father Jeff Cressman. While this doesn't excite me as much as a Phish tour would, it's good that the band is pacing themselves and let's face it, Trey is good playing with just about everyone.
