Happy Birthday Trey Anastasio!

Today is Trey Anastasio's 51st birthday! Trey is the guitarist, vocalist, songwriter for the popular jam band Phish. Most recently he was tabbed to replace Jerry Garcia in The Grateful Dead Fare Thee Well shows.

Here is Trey with Bruce Hornsby and the surviving core members of the Grateful Dead..

A solo song "Sometime after Sunset"..

My birthday celebration of Trey Anastasio would not be complete without some Phish. Below is Phish with Farm House..

Are you a Phish fan? If so what is your favorite song? Please feel free to share in the comments.
I will be back tomorrow with a new Battle of the Bands so stay tuned.

Wanee Festival Line Up

The 2014 Wanee Festival should be on your not to miss list for two reasons. One it is the Festival's 10th Anniversary. I congratulate the festival for achieving this milestone. The second reason is this could be the last Wanee Festival or at least the last one featuring The Allman Brothers.

The line up for the festival is solid but has a stripped down feel to it. The festival is still anchored by The Allman Brothers. Add in a set by Lynryd Skynyrd and the festival will have a distinct southern flavor to it.

The jam band crowd should feel pretty excited with The Trey Anastasio Band, Moe, Rusted Root, Umphrey's McGee, Melvin Seals and the JGB and Chris Robinson.

The family bands will be there The Royal Southern Brotherhood, Gov't Mule, Jaimoe's Jasssz Band,Berry Oakley's Skylab and Tedeschi Trucks Band.

Adding to the party is Blues Traveler, Ziggy Marley, Hot Tuna, Dumpstaphunk (playing a set of Led Zeppelin), and Soulive. If you want hot blues guitars Walter Trout and Matt Schofield are scheduled to perform. The Blind Boys of Alabama also add to the talent rich lineup.

The rest of the lineup includes The Futurebirds, Rob Garza, Bobby Lee Jones, Break Science, Pink Talking Fish, Seam Chambers, The Yeti Trio, and The Hip Abduction.

April 10-12, 2014 Live Oak, Florida is the date and place more info at the official site. Wanee is always a great festival.
