Trey Anastasio doesn’t look like a rock star. With his thick rimless glasses and flop of sandy red hair, you might say he resembles John Sebastian, but really, he looks like a mashup of Mike White …
, of course, picked up the long-jam, psychedelic-minstrel mantle of the Grateful Dead, and it’s worth noting that Jerry Garcia didn’t look like a rock star either — he was the grinning, pie-faced hippie Muppet of rock ‘n’ roll. But that was part of his mystique , and Anastasio, too, has the blissed-out aura of a fan-turned-star.
That highly publicized druggie descent may seem the one place where Anastasio fell prey to the classic image of rock excess. But one of the luscious ironies of “Between Me and My Mind” is that it captures Anastasio as a kind of Middle American granola rocker, with a work ethic worthy of the most backbreaking carpenter , yet he turns that very devotion into a form of rock ‘n’ roll.
At 54, he leads a charmed life, and seems to know it. He lives in an idyllic slice of Vermont, where he and his wife of 25 years, Sue Statesir , have two lovely daughters who are now in their twenties. Anastasio’s parents split up when he was 16, but he adores the prickly independence of his mother, and considers his father to be the ultimate role model.
The secret of Phish’s longevity is that they’re a much hookier band than the Dead. Trey Anastasio carries himself like someone who can’t play the guitar any better than Jerry Garcia could, but, in fact, he’s a brilliant guitarist — he noodles like Dave Matthews, but can rock out as if he were leading Metallica. Offstage, he’s like a folkie with a Jack Black–in–”School of Rock” side. Phish may play extended jams, but much of the time they sound like a looser version of the Doobie Brothers.
