Trey Anastasio Fall Tour and New Album Announced
Phish front man Trey Anastasio will take his solo band on the road this fall to hit a number of choice venues across the Midwest and Northeast according to dates posted on his website.
The New York City stop marks Trey’s first-ever solo show at the Beacon Theatre and first time he’s been a headliner at the historic venue since Phish last visited in 1994. Trey will also perform at the historic Chicago Theatre in Chicago and Stroudsburg’s intimate Sherman Theater for the first time. Also of note Big Red will finally get a chance to play the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, where he supposed to play in 2008 before the show got moved to the Roseland in NYC.

In addition, Anastasio has revealed details about his new album Traveler due Oct. 16…
Traveler, Trey Anastasio’s forthcoming solo album, will be released on October 16 on Rubber Jungle Records / ATO Records. Trey co-produced the album with Peter Katis (The National, Interpol, Jonsi) last fall in Katis’ Tarquin Studios in Bridgeport, CT. Along with Trey Anastasio Band, Katis invited several artists to work with them, including Mates of State’s Kori Gardner, The National’s Bryan Devendorf and Matt Berninger, and Icelandic percussionist Samuli Kosminen.
“My goal was to create an album that used the studio as an instrument,” says Anastasio, who began recording Traveler after Phish wrapped up its 2011 summer tour. “I wanted to work with Peter because he is a master at creating a sonic landscape,” notes Trey. “We were hoping for a cinematic end result.”
Album pre-order details will be announced shortly. The first single on the album, “Scabbard,” will be released August 21.

The Cap! Yes! That was the only hole in the inaugural line-up. Awesome.
Looking forward to the Beacon and the new album. It seems odd the tour is short when he is promoting a new album for the first time in six years. Scott do you think it’s just a coincidence that all shows announced are in markets that Phish is not playing on the second leg? I could see them adding shows after Phish tour is over. Possible cities: LA, San Fran/Oakland, Denver/Boulder, Nashville, Atlanta, Charlotte.
You certainly make a good point. To my knowledge that’s all there is, but I hadn’t heard much besides that there would be a fall tour.
