Widespread Panic Tickets“When we started out, our only intention was to create an environment where the audience could feel free to let their own inspiration flow through them,” says Widespread Panic guitarist and lead vocalist John Bell. “There are a lot folks in the industry, where the big idea is getting from Point A to Point B, and Point B is accepting the Grammy, or whatever the image of success is. There’s no talk about the adventure, and the adventure is where the goods are. Still, a Grammy would be pretty cool, too.” Pancreatic cancer that took the life of Michael Houser on August 10, 2002. Forging on with longtime friend George McConnell stepping in for Houser, the next few years were trying for band and fans alike, but in true blue-collar, hard-working Panic fashion, they have shed the difficulties of the past and have grown into their second skin. After taking fifteen months off in 2004 and 2005 (the band’s first break ever), Panic returned with a renewed sense of passion and purpose. “I definitely feel like something happened after last year,” says Schools. “As far as what’s going on with George, there were some big steps made in terms of understanding the concept of the conversation on stage and playing with the band. George is definitely to the point where he voices his opinions in a stronger way.” Widespread Panic is a southern rock band from Athens, Georgia. Founded in 1985 at the University of Georgia as a weekly jam session at the Uptown Lounge in Athens. The founding members of the group are guitarist/singer John Bell, guitarist Michael Houser and bassist David Schools.
