Both before and after the dissolution of Phish in August 2004, Anastasio has fronted and participated in a variety of ensembles. These have included the "supergroup" Oysterhead (2000-01), with Primus bassist Les Claypool and percussionist Stewart Copeland of The Police; Bad Hat (1994-96), a trio including Jazz Mandolin Project mandolinist Jamie Masefield, also of Vermont; and Surrender to the Air (1996), a one-off album project in tribute to the free jazz of Sun Ra and including several members of the late Sun Ra's Arkestra. His solo career (1998-present) started with a trio of guitar/bass/drums, but soon became a large ensemble including a horn section, backup singers, and exotic percussion, which had its genesis in an earlier group of Burlington, Vermont musicians called the Eight Foot Fluorescent Tubes (1998).
