Trey Kicks Off Tour: Newbs Rejoice, Vets Sigh

The new and improved 70 Volt Parade hit the road for its brief eight-show summer tour last night, playing 19 songs (all non-Phish and even three debuts) at Boston’s Bank of America Pavillion.

We likely won’t be covering the tour and posting setlists, but you can click on this link for constant updates from the road. Tonight, Beardless Red takes his act to Philly’s Festival Pier and Penn’s Landing where he’ll play with the incomparable Medeski, Martin and Wood trio.

Tomorrow evening the Ace Cowboy & Friends will catch Trey’s band at Lawn Gisland’s Jones Beach for the first time in more than a decade. Hello old friend: It’ll be really good to see you once again.
