In the fall 2020, Page and Trey performed some songs outside on the deck of The Barn overlooking Vermont’s Green Mountains (a few of whiich were streamed during "The Beacon Jams" series). The pair reconvened in December to shoot more videos and as snow fell at The Barn, the mission evolved into the December album sessions during which Trey and Page rearranged a group of Phish song for piano and guitar, using alternate vocal harmonies and instrumentation to cover all four band members’ parts.
Limited 180g "Barn Board" colored-vinyl pressing. Last December, Page McConnell & Trey Anastasio recorded and surprise released a stripped down EP, aptly titled December. The 45-minute six-song collection was recorded live at The Barn in VT and features acoustic versions of “If I Could”, "Mountains in the Mist”, “Joy”, and a stripped down electric take on “Miss You”. The EP concludes with a 15-minute rendition of “The Squirming Coil.”
'December' is available for pre-order and will be released on July 23. Pre-orders will ship on or around July 21.
