If you’re a fan of the band Phish (a phan), you probably know Don Hart or at least have heard the fruits of his labor. He's lead guitarist Trey Anastasio's composer and arranger and Don's transformed some of Trey and Phish's most beloved and well-known tunes into orchestral masterpieces.
All of that work culminated in the Beacon Jams - a pandemic-inspired eight-show live stream residency at an empty Beacon Theater in New York City. Trey and his friends didn't repeat a song the entire run and the repertoire ranged from Phish compositions with the Trey Anastasio Band to incorporating a string quartet, at times pushing Don to turn around those parts in less than a week.
Among some of the highlights In this light and eye-opening conversation, Don tells us what that experience was like, how he goes about arranging Trey and Phish's music, and which tune was the most challenging to adapt (it might surprise you!)
