Widespread Panic performing last year on September 17, 2010 at West Virginia University in Morgantown, WV. This show was the Fall Tour opener.
The Akron Civic Theatre in Akron, Ohio has long been known to host a variety of renowned musicians from across the country. But tonight, and for the first time, Athens, GA, born and bred Widespread Panic will veer their tour buses off the highway near The University of Akron and play two sets at Akron Civic Theatre.
“Celebrating Twenty-Five Years… Of Celebrating”
In all their twenty-five years together as a band, Widespread Panic has never played a gig in Akron. Tonight will prove if the sextet can create that improvisational magic they’re so well-known for, in a city they’ve never played before. With their 25th Anniversary in full motion, and new territory to leave their mark, I don’t have any doubts that this Saturday night performance will be a tasty treat for both the fans and the band.
If you’d like to keep updated on show notes, set list, photos, and any other benisfood thoughts, I’ll be tweeting live tonight, so head on over to @benisfood for updates throughout the night and into the morning.
