The land of grassroots southern rock is Athens, Georgia, and is it any wonder that Widespread Panic was born in this musically rich town?
Founding members John Bell and Michael Houser met in 1981 in their dorm at the University of Georgia. Both accomplished guitarists, they began collaborating on music and would perform locally together while attending school. In 1984, they met bassist Dave Schools, and in February of 1986, they added drummer Todd Nance to sit in on a charity performance in Athens. This would be their first show as Widespread Panic!
In 1987, Widespread Panic signed with Landslide Records and produced their first album in September of that year, "Space Wrangler." Widespread Panic signed with Capricorn Records in January 1991 and later that year, they released their major label debut, Widespread Panic (aka Mom's Kitchen).
By 1994, Widespread Panic had released fourth album and were touring the entire country. On April 18, 1998, to celebrate the release of their first live album, "Light Fuse, Get Away", Widespread Panic offered a free "CD release party" concert in Athens Georgia with an estimated 80,000-100,000 fans descending on the town.
They would take a hiatus from touring for a year before going back into the studio to produce "Ball" and then "Earth to America" in 2006. In 2008, the band was inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame!
