Anastasio will provide guitar and vocals on November 7 while Wilson will sing on November 8. Hassan Hakmoun will also appear on sintir both nights.

Anastasio and Baptista first shared the stage in 2000, when they both joined MMW at Albany, NY’s Palace Theatre during Phish’s first hiatus. The percussionist joined Trey Anastasio Band in 2002 and he has been part of many of the guitarist’s solo ensembles ever since. He also backed Phish when they welcomed Jay-Z to the stage in 2004.
