ORIGINAL BOARDWALK STYLE, a live album from Trey Anastasio, will be released on June 10th on Trey's own Rubber Jungle Records. Proceeds from the sale of the album will benefit the Seven Below Arts Initiative, established by Trey in 2006 to foster artistic development and support arts education in the state of Vermont.
The album was recorded at the House of Blues in Atlantic City, NJ on December 30th and 31st of 2006, coming at the end of the band's holiday tour. The two shows marked the culmination of a long year of touring and growth as what began as a six-piece sextet in the beginning of the year had progressed into a full-force eleven member Un..et.
The raw energy of a well-oiled band at the top of its game permeated the set as the composer/vocalist/guitarist led the band – comprised of Tony Hall (bass, vocals), Ray Paczkowski (keyboards), Jeff Sipe (drums), Christina Durfee (vocals, synthesizer), Jennifer Hartswick (vocals, trumpet), Peter Apfelbaum (saxophone, flute), Russell Remington (saxophone, flute), Jeff Cressman (trombone), Dave Grippo (saxophone) and Cyro Baptista (percussion) – through electrifying big band arrangements of his classic songs, replete with big horns and dazzling Brazilian percussive stylings.
ORIGINAL BOARDWALK STYLE features over 75 minutes of music, remixed from the multitrack masters by Trey and Ben Collette at Rubber Jungle Studios and mastered by Fred Kevorkian at Kevorkian Mastering. In addition to CD and digital download formats, the album will be available as a double-gatefold, audiophile grade 180-gram LP Vinyl pressing.
The album is now available for pre-order as CD and Vinyl at Trey's online store as well as digital audio downloads (in both MP3 and FLAC formats) at LivePhish.com. All pre-orders will automatically be entered to win a professionally printed photo – signed by Trey and esteemed photographer Jeff Kravtiz - of the band on stage at the House of Blues. Color corrected by Jennifer Brown, it will be framed in barn board crafted by Lars Fisk, a creative contributor to The Barn’s Artist-in-Residence program. Ten runners-up will receive autographed copies of the vinyl.
Go, Trey, Go! Thanks for spreading so much joy and inspiration for so many years. I'm looking forward to sharing more with you for years to come. Wishing you continued inspiration and blessings - todd amodeo
Trey wondering when your going to grace us with your amazing guitar riffs on the west coast, northwest, Portland Oregon to be exact, the side of the country that reminds you of Vermont?
Oh by the way....I played in a battle of the bands in L.A. and they said no slow songs...so we took out the slow song we rehearsed Rosalea and replaced it with.....Fuckin Chalkdust!!!! We smoked em all and took home the championship!! You totally melt my mind Trey!!! Trip out sideways!!!
You are my favorite musician ever! You are the coolest most badass mofo ever! When the weather gets nice I start cranking out the Phish jams and it feels great! I have such respect. You can really play the freaking guitar! Trey you rule!
Since you're going to be in Michigan in a few weeks for Rothbury, it'd be fantastic if you came North to the Upper Peninsula-- Houghton, MI for a visit. Limestone, Maine is remote, but this place is the road to the end of the earth. Have a good one, Trey.
Word Up Trey!!!! Cant wait till you stop back in MadisonWI!!!! Hope to make it out to Rothbury to catch the now unbelievable lineup!!! Stay cool, id give my left nut too-if i could play YEM on my guitar!!!!
I am so excited to see you at Rothbury!!! I've read the articles, seen the video & can't even begin to express in this small note how incredibly proud of you I am. A new, fresh, clear, inspired, Trey. Does it get any better??!! xoxo Thanks in advance for making my dreams come true...
