Biografía

  • Widespread Panic is an American rock band from Athens, Georgia which consists of John Bell, John Hermann, Todd Nance, Domingo S. Ortiz, Dave Schools, Jimmy Herring and Duane Trucks.

    The incarnation of Widespread Panic can be traced to one dorm room at the University of Georgie shared by John Bell and Michael Houser in 1988. As both musicians were guitarists, they decided to form a duo and began gigging and writing. After meeting with the rest of the musicians that formed the original line up the band, they played in fraternities and bars on a regular and Widespread Panic signed their first record label in 1987. They gained press attention whilst playing their local gig circuit they went on to sign with major label Capricorn Records in 1991 who released the band's self titled album in July of the same year.

    This album was their first major release and was received well by critics which meant the band toured for almost all of 1992 to promote the material. The following album 'Everyday' broke the US Billboard 200 whilst 'Ain't Life Grand' broke top 100. The band achieved cult status for their live performance by the end of the 90's, a CD giveaway party in their hometown was attended by an estimated 100,000 people. They also headlined two nights of the first annual Bonnaroo Music Festival in 2002 as their status soared. In the same year founding member Michael Houser was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, his final show with the band was on July 2 before dying on August 10.

    Their next albums were released on their own label, Widespread Records and achieved higher chart positions. Their peak to date remains 'Earth To America' which reached #48 in 2006. They continued to tour heavily throughout the promotion of all their albums and the band also hold the record for the most sold out shows at the Red Rocks Amphitheater.

Críticas en vivo

  • Widespread Panic

    Widespread Panic is one of those bands that is ten times better when you see them perform live. They are arguably one of the most talented and tenacious modern jam bands around.

    When they perform live they are sure to give their 100% into the performance. Their sets have often extended three hours long and are filled with tasty guitar riffs and long jam sessions. They have a unique sound that encompasses a wide variety of genres ranging from southern rock, progressive rock, and blues. Their sound is not too far off from some of their heroes such as Grateful Dead and The Allman Brothers. The band has a huge following and their shows are always successful. They have already broken a record for selling out the Red Rock Amphitheatre in Colorado the most times out of any band that has performed there.

    The band has great chemistry together during their performances. The bass player, Dave Schools, manages to hold the sound together with his precise rhythmic playing, and Jimmy Herring adds much flavor to the music with his heavy-hitting guitar solos. Widespread Panic also incorporates unique keyboard effects into their music such as the funky sound of the clavinet and the smooth sound of a Wurlitzer.

    If you see a Widespread Panic show, you can know that you will never see the same show twice as they constantly switch up their setlist every night to create a sense of surprise and freshness to their performances. Widespread Panic also incorporates atmospheric light shows into their performance to create an epic tone to their show.

    At a Widespread Panic show you can expect to rock out for hours hearing a diverse list of intricate songs that are played with great skill. Everything from the lights, the great music, and the relaxed vibe of the show makes a Widespread Panic show worth checking out.

  • The show started with John Bell’s gruff tones rasping out ‘A’ right. Good evenin’ everybody.’ Just to this, the crowd roared. Widespread Panic’s fans are insane, as I presume most rock fans are. Hard core rocking and screaming ensued as the band began to Jam. Widespread Panic are a distinctively Southern band, completely different to any British rock band you might stumble upon. They mix Southern style with progressive rock and even a hint of the blues. There is something oddly jazzy about their music that sets them apart from the crowd. Bell’s vocal are less gruff than his speaking voice, thank God, but sufficiently rocky. What this band is really good at is performing: all talented musicians, the guitars, bass and drums are all used in full force. Guitar solos are galore and in many ways the band seems stuck in a permanent state of basement jamming. But the crowd loves it. They came for the playing, not the lyrics, although they shout them out anyway. Than band kept great pace and energy all night.

  • BEST LIVE BAND AROUND!! If you haven't seen a Panic show, you haven't experienced life. Every song, every night, every year is different and magical in it's open special way. I'm afraid to think what my life and musical tastes would be like without these phenomenal musicians. John Bell, Dave Schools, JoJo Herman, Sunny Ortiz, Michael Houser, Todd Nance, Jimmy Herring, Dewayne Trucks, George McConnell, John Keane! Never miss a Sunday show! WSMFP!!! Roll Tide!

  • It was a enjoyable show, but certainly not one of the best for a number of reasons. The Wharf did not have the side large video screens working. The venue was only about half full, thanks in many parts to the Orange Beach Officials derogatory comments about the WSP Fanbase. It was only a one set show versus the customary 2 set show.

  • Heat. Fire. A classic panic setlist, with a few killer new rockin' covers thrown in. Duane's first visit to the Nation's Capital was rock solid all the way. Drivin > Disco > Hatfield > Honky Red > Drums > TV Eye > Stopgo > Drivin was insanity. Played perfectly. So high energy. Can they repeat the magic tonight? Stay tuned...

  • This show was incredible. The venue was awesome, outside but covered still. It even rained and only positively contributed to the experience. Panic was awesome - the crowd was great. Couldn't have asked for a better time!
