During The Beacon Jams in the fall of 2020, fans contributed more than $1.2 million to help open a recovery center dedicated to treating those affected by alcoholism and addiction. Through their generosity, the Divided Sky Residential Recovery Program was born. Opened in November of 2023 in beautiful Ludlow, VT, it has now offered compassionate treatment to hundreds of individuals in a safe, nurturing environment. Rooted in the 12 Steps, Emotional Sobriety, and mindfulness, Divided Sky addresses the root causes of addiction and never turns away anyone due to financial need.
Streamed for free over eight consecutive Fridays during the height of Covid, the unprecedented virtual residency –which became a much-needed gathering place for fans around the world during a time of profound isolation –found Anastasio reimagining music from across his 42-year career through a mix of acoustic and electric performances, unexpected collaborations, interactive moments with the home audience, and countless surprises. Each unique show drew from his entire catalog — debuting brand-new songs, revisiting TAB favorites, and offering fresh, inventive takes on Phish classics, many enhanced by striking new arrangements with the Rescue Squad Strings.
“The Beacon Jams shows were the most artistically satisfying thing I’ve ever worked on,” Anastasio reflects. “They meant so much to everyone involved — not just the audience, but the musicians as well. Everyone was hungry for music and connection, and somehow we found a way to create community in the middle of such a messed-up, isolating moment. Even the name felt meaningful — like we were shining a searchlight into the fog and manifesting something positive out of something so negative.
“At the time, addiction and alcoholism numbers were climbing, and there we were celebrating this dream of creating a sober retreat that could truly help. Now, five years later, that dream is a fully functioning facility doing incredible work. I’ve never been part of anything so pure in its intent. Musically, it was the pinnacle of my career because it combined everything I’ve ever done — Phish, TAB, my solo acoustic work, and the more orchestral projects. My hope is to bring that same spirit of openness and inclusiveness to these three anniversary shows.”
