While we didn&#8217;t expect much from such a painstaking year, one thing remains true: music always prevails. <a href=\"https:\/\/nysmusic.com\/site\/?s=the+beacon+jams\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Beacon Jams<\/a> and Trey also came up countless times in other <em>Best Of<\/em> categories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best of 2020: Overall Streaming Series<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The Beacon Jams earns the Best of 2020 Streaming series, an eight-week residency featuring acoustic and electric performances from Trey Anastasio, with bonus content and audience interaction. New York City&#8217;s historic Beacon Theatre took this on as its first ever virtual residency. Anastasio performed every Friday at 8:00 p.m. ET from October 9, and concluded November 27. The effort streamed exclusively <a href=\"https:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/treyanastasio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">on Twitch<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube aligncenter wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"What Calls You Home ft.

His leap of faith: The Beacon Jams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trey calls The Beacon home. With countless performances at the theatre it was a natural choice. After a crazy two years of touring Anastasio didn&#8217;t think live-streaming was necessary. Times changed and he was still creating, with the July release of <em>Lonely Trip<\/em>, as well as prerecorded SummerStage Jubilee performance and a Jimmy Fallon appearance. While the mass of energy (people) in a live performance is hard to match, Trey was not disappointed with the reaction from The Beacon Jams. In fact, it was overwhelming and inspiring. \u201cI don\u2019t know if I want to play without our community with me,&#8221; but we we&#8217;re right Trey. We&#8217;re right here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>So much of my work is about getting out of my own way, rather than fighting toward something.

With The Beacon Jams, there were two: The WaterWheel Foundation and Divided Sky Fund (DSF). Since 1997 Phish and WaterWheel have been raising money for those in need via touring, while The Divided Sky Fund focuses more on <em>delivering quality care and compassionate treatment for those suffering form alcoholism and addiction<\/em>. Likewise, all net profit from The Beacon Jams merchandise sales went directly to DSF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Divided Sky Fund crushed their initial goal of $150,000. As the organization inched towards its benchmark with mass fan-donations under $100, large sums (upwards of $15,000) and merchandise sales currently raised over $422,000 dollars. This is again feat in itself, especially during times where fans may have had little money to spend. Anastiaso set the bar high, gave back, and instigated this generous giving-tree lifecycle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube aligncenter wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Trey Anastasio - You Enjoy Myself - The Beacon Theatre - 11\/13\/20 (4K HDR)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NtGTKE-RKTU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can still donate to DSF and aide The Beacon Jams&#8217; efforts via Paypal <a href=\"https:\/\/tiltify.com\/@thebeaconjams-dsf\/divided-sky-fund-week-8\/donate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HERE<\/a>.
