Our Story

The seeds of the Divided Sky Residential Recovery Program were sown in the shared vision of two unlikely partners — musician Trey Anastasio of the band Phish, and Melanie Gulde, the drug court case manager who guided him through a 14-month court-ordered journey following his December 2006 arrest for DUI and drug possession. In the years that followed, their shared journey blossomed into a heartfelt alliance dedicated to supporting others on the path of recovery.

This mission led to a pivotal conversation backstage during Phish’s SPAC shows in the summer of 2019, where they first envisioned creating their own unique recovery program. A year later, their idea took a monumental step forward with "The Beacon Jams" — a free live-streamed musical residency and fundraising event hosted by Trey and friends that spanned eight consecutive Fridays. These now-legendary performances were a joyful respite from the isolation of the pandemic and raised a remarkable $1.2 million to build their envisioned residential drug and alcohol recovery facility.

A year later, their idea took a monumental step forward when Trey hosted the "The Beacon Jams" — a free live-streamed musical residency and fundraising event that spanned eight consecutive Fridays. The concerts had no live audience, but were instead broadcast online from Manhattan’s Beacon Theatre with live chat boards offering real-time interaction, uniting Trey directly with the Phish fan community. These now-legendary performances were a joyful respite from the isolation of the pandemic and raised a remarkable $1.2 million for the express purpose of building a residential drug and alcohol recovery facility.
