Trey Anastasio Announces 5th Anniversary ‘The Beacon Jams’ Shows At The Beacon Theatre

Trey Anastasio will celebrate the fifth anniversary of his Beacon Jam livestreams with a three-night run at the Beacon Theatre in New York City November 28 – 30. The concert will see the Phish guitarist performing in “a range of formats each night including performances with the Trey Anastasio Band and the return of The Rescue Squad Strings,” as per a press release.

Proceeds from the concert will benefit the Divided Sky Foundation, the nonprofit and recovery center Anastasio founded with proceeds from his original Beacon Jam livestreams, which ran for eight consecutive Fridays in Fall 2020 during the height of the pandemic.

Trey Anastasio detailed the Beacon Jams and the Divided Sky Foundation:

“The Beacon Jams shows were the most artistically satisfying thing I’ve ever worked on. They meant so much to everyone involved — not just the audience, but the musicians as well. Everyone was hungry for music and connection, and somehow we found a way to create community in the middle of such a messed-up, isolating moment. Even the name felt meaningful — like we were shining a searchlight into the fog and manifesting something positive out of something so negative.

“At the time, addiction and alcoholism numbers were climbing, and there we were celebrating this dream of creating a sober retreat that could truly help. Now, five years later, that dream is a fully functioning facility doing incredible work. I’ve never been part of anything so pure in its intent. Musically, it was the pinnacle of my career because it combined everything I’ve ever done — Phish, TAB, my solo acoustic work, and the more orchestral projects. My hope is to bring that same spirit of openness and inclusiveness to these three anniversary shows.”
