Trey Anastasio is the lead guitarist and singer of popular jam band Phish. I’ve seen him play live at Madison Square Gardens for the 1st and 13th show of the Bakers Dozen tour and the concert does not disappoint. Their band draws a very interesting and unique fan base from all over. There isn’t another band I’ve found so far that has as much of a cult following as Phish! I hope these vibrant colors and shapes represent the psychedelic sound and energy Trey carries while playing on stage!
As an artist from Mississippi, I it’s in my soul to love Delta Blues music. I grew up listening to artists like BB King, Howlin Wolf, R L Burnside and the up-and-coming Kingfish. There’s something so raw and soulful about BB Kings music and legacy that will impact the music industry and beyond for generations to come. I created this colorful watercolor painting in hopes to embody the essence of his guitar notes. While the history of Mississippi may be a bleak and dark past, I hope this painting brings color in beauty into spaces that need a little joy and hope.

This painting of the joyful and soulful LaLa Evans is representative of his colorful spirit. He is a native to Starkville, MS and I befriended him years ago after seeing him featured in the Mutemath music video for their song Monument. Watch here if you haven’t seen, and you too will fall in love with LaLa!

My soul is as fragile as an eggshell. I have been set free through wandering. Like a bird in flight, I dream of a place far, far away where my soul is not fragile. A place where I too am as free as that bird that hatched from that egg.
