The Barn

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"The Barn" redirects here. Two arenas are affectionately nicknamed "The Barn", see the Williams Arena (Minnesota) and Windsor Arena (Ontario).

The Barn is the name given to the recording studio on the property of former Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio, located near Burlington, Vermont. It was reconstructed between 1996 and 1998 from an existing structure, the Alan Irish Barn. The Barn has been used by Phish to record their final three albums, and has hosted most of Anastasio's projects since 1999.

On June 24, 1999, Phish performed a warm up gig at The Barn in preparation for their summer tour. It was also a party for the cast and crew of the Jim Carrey film Me, Myself and Irene, who were filming in the area. Carrey joined the band on stage, singing "Hey You" by Bachman Turner Overdrive and The Beatles' classic Come Together.
