Trey Anastasio and Billy Strings have announced two joint benefit concerts at the DCU Center in Worcester, Massachusetts, on November 20 and 21. Rather than playing separate sets, the guitarists will perform together with Trey Anastasio Band backing them across both nights.
All proceeds will support the Divided Sky Foundation, which works to make addiction-recovery care more affordable and accessible. Anastasio and Strings have crossed paths onstage several times, including collaborations in 2022, 2024 and again in June 2026, but this announcement builds an entire two-night event around that pairing.
Why it matters
This is a deliberately collaborative two-guitar event rather than a shared bill, bringing Anastasio's improvisational world and Strings' bluegrass-rooted playing together for two full benefit shows.
