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!

The beloved three-day festival, Boston Calling, is set to light up the Harvard Athletic Complex this Memorial Day Weekend. With a lineup headlined by musical luminaries such as Ed Sheeran, The Killers, and Tyler Childers, the festival promises a spectacular array of over 50 artists gracing its stages. The event will feature a diverse selection of talent including Leon Bridges, Trey Anastasio and Classic TAB, Hozier, Reneé Rapp, Megan Thee Stallion, and many others.

Trey and Classic TAB, featuring the renowned talents of Dezron Douglas, Russ Lawton, and Ray Paczkowski, are thrilled to announce their return to the stage this May. The highly anticipated series of shows will take audiences on a musical journey through the Midwest, Canada, and conclude with a three-night residency at Brooklyn Steel in Brooklyn, NY.

Phish returned to the iconic Madison Square Garden in the heart of New York, NY on December 28, 2023, for their eightieth show at the famed arena. They also commenced their annual four-night New Year's run for a sold-out crowd of donut-clad individuals. Like a fine wine, this band only gets better with age, and the proof is in the pudding: a first night full of old favorites and a four-song encore.

The spooky vibes returned for Day Two at Hulaween in the Spirit of Suwannee Music Park on Friday, October 27, 2023. This day's headliners included three forces to be reckoned with in the jam rock world: The Trey Anastasio Band, Goose, and of course, our Hulaween hosts, The String Cheese Incident. The latter two collaborated for a surprise opening during the String Cheese Incident's second set.

The first time I saw Phish live was at the band’s famed Rupp Area show in Lexington KY, in November 1996. (The Four Horsemen of the Psychedelic Apocalypse unspooled a stratospheric, 25-minute “Bathtub Gin” jam that night which immediately entered Phish pholklore as one of the all-time best versions. As a dazzled, newly-minted Phish convert at the time, I certainly thought so, and it was my first time hearing the song!

Hulaween, the Halloween-themed festival put on by Jam rockers The String Cheese Incident, is closely approaching. This spooky event takes place from October 26 - 29, 2023 at the Spirit of Suwanee Music Park in Live Oak, FL. The lineup is pretty incredible this year, providing a well-balanced mix of jam rock, EDM, and funk, along with a side of hip hop.

In its second year of operation, the annual ALL IN Music & Arts Festival in Indianapolis seems to have hit its stride.

This past weekend, Phish took their twelfth run at their annual Labor Day summer tour closer, delivering four nights of fun at the famed Dick’s Sporting Goods Park outside of Denver. With the exception of Thursday night, which was still very packed, the band played to sold-out crowds, 27,000 people turning out to celebrate the Jesters of Jam and the shared experience once again.

Six nights of live performances certainly take a toll. However, there was no sign of breaking on the sixth of seven performances by Phish at Madison Square Garden on August 4, 2023. The jam rock squad from Vermont certainly brought the sweltering summer heat inside the Garden in the form of face-melting jams, rarely played originals, and tasty covers.
