| Trey Anastasio's Summer Tour Trey Anastasio is embarking on a set of summer tour dates which include eagerly-anticipated shows reuniting the guitarist/songwriter/performer with his fellow former Phishmate Mike Gordon (bass). Rounding out the band on Trey's shows with Mike Gordon are The Duo: Marco Benevento (keyboards) and Joe Russo (drums). Trey and his own band will perform a special opening set on select shows on the upcoming Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers 2006 North American "Highway Companions Tour, " beginning June 9 in Charlotte, North Carolina with a second leg beginning July 27 in Sacramento, California. Trey Anastasio will perform with Les Claypool (bass) and Steward Copeland (drums) as Oysterhead at the 2006 Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Manchester, Tennessee. This will be the first public Oysterhead performance since the rock supergroup's 2001 tour and album, "The Grand Pecking Order." Trey is also scheduled to perform on A&E's "Breakfast With The Arts, " airing Sunday, May 21. Trey's live shows late last year generated press raves. "Anastasio's band has gelled with surprising ease, " wrote Variety while RollingStone.com praised the "straightforward big-rock force that rarely allowed himself in the weird science of Phish." write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Jazz News :: home page |
