Widespread Panic w/ Jeff Austin – Fixin’ To Die

The action started on Friday night in Tuscaloosa, Alabama where Panic dusted off the Rev. Gary Davis tune made famous by Bob Dylan Baby, Let Me Follow You Down for the first time in over 350 shows. While the two bands didn’t share the stage that night, Yonder’s Jeff Austin sat in with Widespread Panic on Fixin’ To Die at the FedEx Forum in Memphis on Saturday night. WSP’s first set ended with a pair of The Band covers in Ophelia and The Shape I’m In and the group also played Green Onions during the second set in the middle of Henry Parsons Died.

Last night in Biloxi, Widespread Panic welcomed YMSB’s banjo wiz Dave Johnston out for C. Brown and then Austin lent a hand on mandolin for Who Do You Belong To? Fittingly, John Bell and his bandmates also busted out Thin Air (Smells Like Mississippi) at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum. Sunny Ortiz and Todd Nance will appear at Portman’s Music Store in Savannah this afternoon at 4PM for a drum demo and Q&A before Widespread Panic returns to the stage tomorrow at Savannah’s Johnny Mercer Auditorium. Next up for Yonder Mountain String Band is the group’s Harvest Music Festival in Ozark, Arkansas on October 13 – 15.
