Dirty Side Down, the 11th studio album from Widespread Panic is set<br>for a May 25th release on ATO Records. Dirty Side Down is comprised<br>of 12 songs that incorporate Panic s unique blend of rock, jazz and<br>blues inspired textures into songs flowing with melody, rhythm and<br>emotion.<br><br>After 24 years, Widespread Panic remain one of America s best live<br>bands, and most successful touring acts. Aside from their legendary<br>live shows, they continue to raise the bar in their genre through their<br>songwriting, and Dirty Side Down is a prime example. Band members<br>John Bell (vocals/guitar), John Hermann (keyboards/vocals), Jimmy<br>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.
