Touch of Trey is the most brilliantly efficient tribute act of all time, an answer to the musical question, “What if a cover band engaged the material of both Jerry Garcia and Trey Anastasio, truly blurring the line between the Grateful Dead and Phish, adding in covers from neither act to ensure that fans will get a healthy dose of both jam bands while engaging in non-tribute jam behavior by expanding on classics both new and old?” Austin guitarist Josh Pearson and his band of bros first took flight in 2020 and have only just begun wigging out. – Joe Gross
