Ernest Joseph "Trey" Anastasio III〔The Phish Companion: A Guide to the Band and Their Music, Second Edition.〕 (born September 30, 1964)〔 The Phish Companion: A Guide to the Band and Their Music, Second Edition. Confusion regarding date of birth was clarified by the Albany Times Union on 12/16/2006. See Times Union archives.〕 is an American guitarist, composer, and vocalist noted for his work with the rock band Phish, and his solo career, including the Trey Anastasio Band and the orchestral "Evenings with Trey Anastasio" performed with the New York Philharmonic, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, the Baltimore Symphony, the Pittsburgh Symphony, and the Colorado Symphony. Anastasio was a 2013 best score Tony award nominee for the Broadway musical ''Hands on a Hardbody''. He received the 2013 Dramatist Guild Frederick Loewe award for Dramatic Composition.〔()〕 In addition to his orchestral compositions, he is credited by name as composer of 152 Phish original songs, 140 of them as a solo credit, in addition to 41 credits attributed to the band as a whole. ==Biography== Anastasio was born in Fort Worth, Texas, and moved to Princeton, New Jersey, when he was three. His father, Ernest Anastasio Jr., was an executive vice president at the Educational Testing Service. His mother, Dina, was a children's book author and editor of ''Sesame Street Magazine''. He grew up with his sister Kristy.〔The Phish Companion: A Guide to the Band and Their Music, Second Edition〕 Anastasio attended Princeton public schools through the fourth grade, then transferred to Princeton Day School. He graduated from the Taft School along with the Dude of Life, who helped pen such Phish compositions as "Suzy Greenberg", "Fluffhead", "Run Like An Antelope", "Slave to the Traffic Light", and "Dinner and a Movie". At Taft, he created his first two bands, Red Tide and Space Antelope. Anastasio attended the University of Vermont and Goddard College. Anastasio enrolled in the University of Vermont as a philosophy major. At UVM he met original Phish bandmates Jon Fishman, Mike Gordon, and Jeff Holdsworth. On December 2, 1983 the group played their first gig in the Harris-Millis Cafeteria at UVM. Although frequently referred to as an ROTC dance, this information is incorrect - it was in fact a Christmas semi-formal for Mike's dorm, which happened to have many ROTC students at the time. The setlist consisted of cover songs, including "Long Cool Woman" and "Proud Mary" which was performed twice. The band was very primitive at this time and used hockey sticks as mic stands. After performing one set, Michael Jackson's ''Thriller'' album was put on by a party-goer to drown out the band. The band would not return to play but were still paid for the performance. At the University of Vermont, he hosted an early morning radio program, ''Ambient Alarm Clock''. While living at home for a semester, Anastasio met up with childhood friends Tom Marshall, his future writing partner, and Marc Daubert who would officially join Phish as percussionist from September 1984 to February 1985. After seeing a Phish show, pianist Page McConnell joined Phish in the autumn of 1985. Anastasio, along with Jon Fishman, transferred to Goddard College.〔 During this time he began a musical association and close friendship with composer Ernie Stires, who taught him composition, theory, and arranging. While at Goddard, he composed the song cycle ''The Man Who Stepped into Yesterday'' as his senior project. These songs would become mainstays of the Phish catalog. He graduated from Goddard in 1988. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Trey Anastasio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
