Hot off the Sphere shows in Las Vegas, Trey Anastasio brought Classic TAB to the Salt Shed Chicago. The Salt Shed Chicago is the hottest new venue in the city, Trey was clearly enjoying it as much as the City of Chicago loves it too. Right off the Chicago River on a misty May evening, the moisture turned to a sweaty fun time inside the indoor/outdoor venue. Those who had their poster tubes were happy they had them!

LaMP featuring Russ Lawton, Scott Metzger and Ray Paczkowski has announced a ten-date Spring tour across the East Coast with stops in the Northeast, Mid Atlantic and Southeast. Kicking off in April, the run is in addition to two previously announced March shows in Denver and Boulder.

In the heart of Burlington's vibrant music scene, a memorable evening in December 2018 at Nectar’s witnessed the convergence of three musical virtuosos: Russ Lawton, Scott Metzger, and Ray Paczkowski. This serendipitous gathering birthed LaMP, a trio whose name cleverly combines the initials of these talented artists. Their upcoming performance at Fox Theatre on Friday, March 22, 2024, marks another milestone in their extraordinary journey.

Another exciting musical project is emerging from an unlikely source - an old bicycle warehouse in the heart of Burlington, Vermont. The Tank, affectionately known to some as "the Phish Tank", hosted this session just after 'The Beacon Jams' sessions at the tail end of our national health crisis. The project, until further notice, is going by the acronym 'RAaR' for Ray, Ari, and Russ.
