Following the abrupt departure earlier this week of guitarist George McConnell, Widespread Panic has moved quickly in naming a new member to the band. As posted on the official WSP website:
“Widespread Panic is happy to announce that Jimmy Herring will be joining the band as lead guitarist. Jimmy, who in the past, has toured with The Dead and Aquarium Rescue Unit, said he is extremely excited to join his old friends on stage this fall. The tour will start September 14th with a three day run in New York City at the legendary Radio City Music Hall.”
