Trey Anastasio has announced plans for a free livestream webcast of his upcoming three-night run at New York City’s legendary Beacon Theatre, celebrating the fifth anniversary of his historic 2020 The Beacon Jams residency. Set for November 28–30, the sold-out shows, which will benefit the Divided Sky Foundation, will be available to livestream via livephish.com/BeaconJams and nugs.net/BeaconJams starting each night at 8 pm (ET). Fan donations are encouraged, with proceeds benefitting the Divided Sky Foundation. Founded by Anastasio in 2020, Divided Sky Foundation offers compassionate, affordable residential care to those struggling with addiction.
Fans who donate online will be able to send messages to Anastasio and Divided Sky Foundation, in the tradition of the original Beacon Jams.
The upcoming Beacon Theatre run will feature Anastasio in a range of formats each night, including performances with the Trey Anastasio Band and the return of the Rescue Squad Strings. All three shows are sold out, with ticket sales also benefiting DSF.
Streamed for free over eight consecutive Fridays during the height of COVID-19, 2020’s The Beacon Jams found Anastasio reimagining music from across his 42-year career through a mix of acoustic and electric performances, unexpected collaborations, interactive moments with the home audience, and countless surprises. Each unique show saw Anastasio drawing material from his entire catalog – debuting brand-new songs, revisiting TAB favorites, and offering fresh, inventive takes on Phish classics, many enhanced by striking new arrangements with the Rescue Squad Strings.
The unprecedented virtual residency – which became a much-needed gathering place for fans around the world during a time of profound isolation – saw fans contribute more than $1.2 million to help open a recovery center dedicated to treating those affected by alcoholism and addiction. Through their generosity, the Divided Sky Residential Recovery Program was born. Opened in November 2023 in beautiful Ludlow, VT, Divided Sky has already led hundreds of individuals to recovery through compassionate care in a safe and nurturing environment. Rooted in the 12 Steps, Emotional Sobriety, and mindfulness, Divided Sky addresses the root causes of addiction and never turns away anyone due to financial need.
“The Beacon Jams shows were the most artistically satisfying thing I’ve ever worked on,” Anastasio reflects. “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.”
