Last year's Phish reunion ended with a New Year's Eve blowout in Miami, and Trey Anastasio is wasting no time returning to the stage. The guitarist will hit the road for a month-long tour with his Classic TAB band in February. The tour kicks off February 8th in Charlottesville, Virginia. That date marks what would have been the 47th birthday of Trey's sister Kristine, an environmentalist and author who died last April of neuroendocrine cancer; all proceeds from the February 8th show will go toward the Kristine Anastasio Manning Memorial Fund. Classic TAB promises set lists stocked with selections from Anastasio's solo canon. An online ticket request begins tomorrow at 10 a.m. ET a Trey Tickets.

Look back at Phish's epic Hampton reunion show in photos.

Phish's most recent tour wrapped with a four-night stand at Miami's American Airlines Arena, culminating with a New Year's Eve concert that featured the band performing songs like "Swept Away" and "Demand" for the first time in nearly a decade. Other 2009 highlights for the band included two nights headlining the Bonnaroo Festival, their Festival 8 in Indio, California (complete with a set dedicated to the Rolling Stones' Exile on Main St.) and gigs at Boston's Fenway Park.

“Oh Sherrie”

Steve Perry | 1984

Steve Perry's girlfriend Sherrie Swafford was actually in the studio when Perry began writing this song--his lone Top Ten hit as a solo act--with two co-writers. The trio began at midnight one night with just "Oh, Sherrie!" and "hold on, hold on." Three hours later, they had a complete song. Swafford, however, had to wait until the next day to hear it. "Sherrie actually got tired and went to bed," Perry said. She also appeared in the video, but their relationship did not hold on for long.
