Trey Anastasio Band will finish the remainder of their fall tour without their three-piece horn section after trumpeter and longtime member Jennifer Hartswick tested positive for COVID. Hartswick is currently experiencing mild systems and is expected to make a full recovery.
A note posted on Anastasio’s socials explains, “Despite thorough safety protocols, Jennifer Hartswick has tested positive for Covid-19. She is experiencing minor symptoms and expected to recover fully. Starting with tonight’s performance, Trey Anastasio Band will continue the tour without the horn section. We will miss them all. We strongly recommend that all fans wear a mask at shows when social distancing isn’t possible. Thank you for continuing to do your part and stay safe.”
TAB was already touring in a different configuration after saxophonist James Casey was diagnosed with cancer and forced to skip this run of dates. Daptone staple Cochemea Gastelum has been subbing for Casey on the road with TAB, though he missed what was supposed to be his second concert with the group due to a previous commitment supporting Antibalas at New York’s Central Park SummerStage. Trombonist Natalie Cressman’s father Jeff, a longtime Santana collaborator and former member of Anastasio’s solo group, stepped in for the gig.

Swabs for the win
September 27, 2021 at 1:53 pmMany anti vaxxers enjoy the anal swabs, gives em a rush and something to be dramatic about.
Jabroni
September 27, 2021 at 1:42 amWe need daily testing to be lawfully able to leave our houses. This is the only way forward. Daily testing and mandatory anal swab testing for day of show. If we can accept this as normal the quicker we can go back to normal. We are almost there. It’s just a anal swab, they provide the most accurate results per WHO studies
Lame

September 26, 2021 at 9:22 pmThey should just lose the shitty horns and use hartwicks house coats like Minkins back in the day. Then she could say she contributed something besides a vicious case of the sugars and Covid.
GOOD COMMENT COMRADE
September 26, 2021 at 9:36 pmWelcome to Joe Biden’s America!
its all about freedom
September 26, 2021 at 9:58 pmoh yes things have changed so much, as if the trump admin did not first restrict american freedoms during the pandemic and then support the development of the vaccine and call it the answer to the problem.

September 26, 2021 at 8:55 pmTAB sans horns was unbelievable last night!
good comment comrade
September 26, 2021 at 8:38 pmAh yes the segregation of shows that also allow a negative test are so terrible, worst anyone has suffered. Compare yourself to ethnic and religious genocide, it is certainly an accurate comparison. Musicians on stage, well away from the audience, certainly catch covid in this manner. After all nobody wants to be near them off stage. Let’s go be indoctrinated by tucker carlson more.
MARQUiNO
September 26, 2021 at 7:41 pmI got my COVID pass tattooed on my butthole so it’s easy entry via the segregated line at shows: just drop my pants at the door and spread my cheeks and boom! Front row giving all my favorite vaccinated musicians Covid at the expense of all the unvaxxed trash not allowed in the segrated venues. Music scene in 2021 is like woodstock of Germany in the pre war 30’s Weimar Republic. I’m vaccinated and when we spread Covid at shows I do it right. Peace and alive unless you’re unvaxxed trash. See you at the indoorvphosh shows next month fellow vaccinated super spreaders of widespread butt cheeks!

Joke
September 26, 2021 at 5:43 pmOh eli, do you feel smart with your ‘data’. You don’t know shit and neither does anyone else. Climb down now ok little man. Vaccinated people getting covid and u talk heard immunity, moron
not even eli
September 26, 2021 at 6:27 pmFar as I can tell you’re the only one talking “heard immunity”. I suppose you’re right nobody knows anything but you, up there on your pedestal of unsupported wisdom. You’re right vaccinated people do get covid, but they don’t die from it or clog up hospitals unless they’re old or sick as hell. You must be the smartest son bitch around

September 26, 2021 at 3:01 pmMags thought process: “We Must punish evil China for sending us this horrible virus that is just the common cold.And we don’t need masks, but Trump was a hero for wearing one that one time. And God bless him for inventing the miraculous vaccine we are not going to take”

September 26, 2021 at 1:36 pmTrey could careless if you all get covid. Money is more important

Joke
September 26, 2021 at 1:21 pmVaccine is helping her not be sicker? People will believe anything wont they? There is no vaccine for delta variant covid. People do know that right? Crazy crazy world.
head in sand
September 26, 2021 at 2:09 pmPeople will ignore data if it conflicts with the views they’ve already decided to accept. There doesn’t need to be a vaccine for delta. If delta is now the dominant thread in society then the vaccine is working pretty well against it. There is a reason that people in hospitals with covid are 90%+ unvaccinated. But its all conspiracy and the sheeple buy it right. Protect your ego calling other people crazy, just gotta troll around

Lets Write Clearly
September 26, 2021 at 12:45 pm“Trey Anastasio Band Will Join Without Horns”
WTF does “join” mean here? It sound like a brass hating band was going to join them on tour.
Lets Be Frank
September 26, 2021 at 12:37 pmThis band sounds cursed, Trey should disband it for everyone’s safety. BTW the censorship and deletion of comments going on is absurd. If you continue, page views and clicks is going to decline, along with advertising revenue and $happy ain’t gonna be happy. Comments are what keep people coming back, its not the clever and accurate Intern writing…

September 27, 2021 at 2:20 pmTrey’s at fault! Phish summer tour wasn’t enough…he needs even more money. His greed is putting the whole band in grave danger, but the show must go on right Trey?
Marquino
September 27, 2021 at 5:54 pmDid u ever consider that maybe Trey just likes to play music for people? It’s what he does.
What do u do besides make stupid comments?

September 26, 2021 at 12:23 pmThis is serious stuff morbidly obese people like her need to take this seriously. There needs to be a discussion about health and weight, she is easily 325lbs, so sad

Lets Be honest
September 26, 2021 at 2:03 amJesus, when are people going to realize all this shit aint working…Your mask, the vaccine and the social distancing…These shows have been all vaccine only shows.. Why dont they say, Jen is extremely overweight and fully vaccinated…
lets think a little
September 26, 2021 at 11:31 amLets be honest she didn’t get covid at a concert, she got covid in her personal time when she probably wasn’t wearing a mask and social distancing. Her being overweight has nothing to do with it except the vaccine is probably keeping her from being much sicker, maybe even needing to be hospitalized. The measures are working, they aren’t perfect, but they are working.
