Before his popular band reunites on New Year’s Eve, Phish frontman Trey Anastasio will lead his solo group on a nine-city tour of the East Coast.
The solo run opens with an Oct. 22 benefit show in his hometown of Burlington, Vt. The concert will raise funds for Burlington City Arts, a group chartered to sustain and enhance that city’s cultural life.
Anastasio, who released his self-titled solo debut in April, will be backed by the same group that joined him on his summer tour: bassist Tony Markellis, drummer Russ Lawton, keyboardist Ray Paczkowsi, trumpeter Jennifer Hartswick, alto saxophonist Dave Grippo, saxophonist and flutist Peter Apfelbaum, trombonist Andy Moroz, tenor saxophonist Russell Remington and percussionist Cyro Baptista.
Phish, which has been on hiatus for two years, will return to the fold with a Dec. 31 show at New York’s Madison Square Garden. The following week, the group will play three concerts in Hampton, Va.
