Down In the Groove with Widespread Panic's Todd Nance (PART TWO)
Down In The Groove with Widespread Panic's Todd Nance (Part Two)
2/26/08
I'd like to announce the second part of Mystery And Manners' interview with Widespread Panic drummer is now up and running. In Part One Todd detailed his early music influences, early days of Panic, recording at Muscle Shoals and the band's gradual ascent in the music world.
In Part Two Todd talks about Panic's record label, studio recordings, a record-breaking outdoor performance in Athens, the sad passing of original guitarist Mikey Houser, dark days, new guitarist Jimmy Herring, Terry Manning, recording in the Bahamas, Panic's new CD Free Somehow and many other gems in the adventures of Widespread Panic.
I'd like to send out a personal thanks on this story to Todd, Ellie MacKnight, and Jackie Jasper.
P.S. Todd told me tonight he recorded on one of Bloodkin's new songs for their upcoming album last night. More on that later...
See y'all soon...your humble scribe,

Excellent. Another insightful interview, James. WP is a class act. I respect the boys in the band for not kowtowing to the business, doing things their way and keeping the family in the family. Diggin' Free Somehow and looking forward to the next show. - Chris (Marin County, California)
