Widespread Panic Information
Widespread Panic gained attention in the late 1980s with their unique blend of rock, blues, and Southern jam-band style. The band formed in Athens, Georgia, in 1986 and began playing small shows around town. Their first album was released in 1988, and by the early 1990s, they were drawing larger crowds across the South. Their music features long guitar solos and deep grooves. One of their significant moments early on occurred in 1992 when they signed with a label and released an album every day, which expanded their sound to a wider audience.
As the years passed, the band built a strong fan base through nonstop touring. They became known for their powerful live shows and loyal crowd, similar to bands like Phish and the Grateful Dead. Albums like Ain’t Life Grand, Til the Medicine Takes, and Dirty Side Down kept the fans coming back. Even when they lost their original guitarist, Michael Houser, in 2002, they kept going strong. Jimmy Herring later joined the band and further shaped their sound. Widespread Panic has played thousands of shows over the years, including big venues and festivals like Bonnaroo and Red Rocks Amphitheatre, where they return almost every year.
In 2025, Widespread Panic is back on the road with a full schedule of concerts across the United States. They are playing multi-night runs in cities like Chicago, Denver, and New Orleans. The band is also returning to Red Rocks for another sold-out weekend of shows. Each night has a different setlist, filled with crowd favorites like "Chilly Water," "Porch Song," and "Tall Boy." Fans know every show is a little different, which keeps people coming back again and again.
