The 11th annual The Ally Coalition Talent Show, hosted by co-founders Jack Antonoff and Rachel Antonoff, was held last night at the Skirball Theatre in New York City, with proceeds benefiting their organization supporting LGBTQ+ youth. Phish’s Trey Anastasio, Paramore’s Hayley Williams and Florence + The Machine’s Florence Welch were among the evening’s performers.

Antonoff’s band Bleachers was part of the collaborative show that saw Anastasio playing acoustic guitar while leading a cover of Jonathan Richman’s “That Summer Feeling,” which included backing vocals by Claud, Samia and Annie DiRusso.

Anastasio also played acoustic guitar while Florence Welch and Hayley Williams dueted on Judee Sill’s “Lopin’ Along Thru the Cosmos.” Trey played electric guitar alongside Antonoff on grand piano for Bleachers’ “Goodmorning.”

Hayley Williams joined Antonoff in singing “Merry Christmas, Please Don’t Call.” Rachel Zegler and Bleachers covered Joni Mitchell’s holiday season staple, “River.” Another holiday favorite, “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” was sung by Rainey Qualley. Collaborations also included Claud, Samia, DiRusso and Hank Heaven working up “Jesus Fucking Christmas.”
