Trey Anastasio Joins Khruangbin At Lockn’

Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio joined Khruangbin for a lengthy sit-in at the opening night of Lockn’ 2019. The set was one of the first performances of the festival after the start of the opening day at Infinity Downs Farm in Arrington, Virginia was delayed by rain.

Khruangbin guitarist Mark Speer noted the trio rarely invites guests to perform with them, but chose to welcome their “very good friend” to play guitar who was escorted to the stage by bassist Laura Lee. Anastasio, whose Ghosts Of The Forest show at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley was opened by Khruangbin, began his lengthy guest spot by accompanying the group on an expansive version “Lady And Man,” from the 2018 album Con Todo El Mundo. Trey then joined the band on “The Infamous Bill.”

Speer and Anastasio synced up for intertwined soloing several times during stretched-out takes on “Evan Finds The Third Room” and especially on “People Everywhere (Still Alive)” from the 2015 LP The Universe Smiles Upon You. Anastasio started to leave the stage before being summoned back by Speer for a final set-closing offering of “Bin Bin.” Watch the collaboration via the videos below:
