Hors d’Oeuvres: Trey Tour Begins

Trey Anastasio and his Classic TAB ensemble take the stage at the Jefferson Theatre in Charlottesville, VA shortly for the first of 16 shows on this tour. Tonight’s show is a benefit for the Kristine Anastasio Manning Memorial Fund on what have been Trey’s sister’s 47th birthday.
