Dirty Side Down

Dirty Side Down, the 11th studio album from Widespread Panic is set
for a May 25th release on ATO Records. Dirty Side Down is comprised
of 12 songs that incorporate Panic s unique blend of rock, jazz and
blues inspired textures into songs flowing with melody, rhythm and
emotion.

After 24 years, Widespread Panic remain one of America s best live
bands, and most successful touring acts. Aside from their legendary
live shows, they continue to raise the bar in their genre through their
songwriting, and Dirty Side Down is a prime example. Band members
John Bell (vocals/guitar), John Hermann (keyboards/vocals), Jimmy
Herring (lead guitar), Todd Nance (drums/vocals), Domingo Ortiz (percussion) and Dave Schools (bass/vocals) combine their efforts by writing, or co-writing, 10 of the album s 12 tracks. Songs, such as the dark, multi-layered opener Saint Ex , the boogie blues of Jaded Tourist or the laid back Southern nature of When You Coming Home showcase Widespread Panic s dynamic range as songwriters and musicians.
