Audio | Trey Anastasio Band Debuts Two New Originals In Cleveland

The Trey Anastasio Band featuring Phish front man Trey Anastasio hit the road on Friday for the first of two shows in Ohio leading up to the group’s Summer Camp Music Festival two-set performance on Sunday night. TAB visited the House Of Blues in Cleveland on Friday night, where their return to the road included two debuts. Anastasio also confirmed the band is currently recording a new album.

Trey and his band presented a pair of tunes they debuted earlier this year -“Bounce” and “Sometime After Sunset” as well as a number of TAB staples such as “Cayman Review,” “Burlap Sack and Pumps,” “Money Love and Change,” “Gotta Jibboo,” “Night Speaks To A Woman,” “Plasma,” “Sand” and “Push On Till The Day” in Cleveland. The second set featured the group’s version of “Clint Eastwood,” the evening’s lone cover. Five songs into the first set, TAB unveiled “Flying Machines,” a ballad penned by Trey. “Flying Machines” was originally performed earlier this year with different lyrics and a bit of a different arrangement under the moniker “Pulsing Days.” The guitarist mentioned TAB had recently recorded the new version. “The Song,” which was written by Anastasio and longtime writing partner Steve “Dude Of Life” Pollak, was performed in the second set.
