Trey Anastasio

Things have gone beyond my wildest expectations and dreams, and I feel like I've been given so many blessings in my life, between my friendship with the guys in the band, our wonderful audience, being able to play this music, and then my family.

I've always loved the experience of working together with other people toward an artistic goal.

I've been sober for two-and-a-half years, My children are happy. In August, my wife and I will celebrate our fifteenth wedding anniversary. My band is back together with a sold-out tour.

It was amazing and inspiring to see so many people come together through music to aid the great state of Vermont.

As long as your intention is pure, and you know what you're in it for, then you're alright. And I'm in it because I enjoy it. I take it seriously... real seriously. I mean I could sit and talk all day about the music.

I'm not trying to pull the rug out from under anybody, but the music really does tell you where to go.

Music has always been my protection against the world, from a very young age. I feel safe inside of a jam.

Equality implies individuality.
