PHOTOS from Trey Anastasio Band at Stone Pony Summer Stage On the morning of July 7, 2023, I got the best news! My request to photograph the Trey Anastasio Band (TAB) at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ came through. This show was originally scheduled back in 2021, but thanks to Covid-19 did not take place until two years later. Trey Anastasio even remarked at the start of the show, "it's great to be here, we were supposed to be here two years, but couldn’t be thanks to something. That something is gone now, and we are here!" Adding to the excitement of the news I got that morning, was that this show was sold out and the buzz in the air as I arrived in Asbury Park at the beginning of sound check was electric.
