Widespread Panic

Widespread Panic was riding a wave of momentum in their career around the time of their live performance at Bonnaroo on June 14, 2008. Just a few months prior, in February of that year, they released their studio album *Free Somehow*. This album was notable for its exploration of new musical territories while retaining the band’s signature jam rock style. Their performance at Bonnaroo, featuring the song “Walkin’,” captured the raw energy and improvisational spirit that the band is celebrated for. While playing at such a prominent festival, they not only connected with a vast audience but also reaffirmed their status in the jam band scene, delivering unforgettable moments like the touching duet with Jimmy Herring and the lively presence of Sonny Ortiz and JB. It’s that blend of spontaneity and deep connection with fans that truly highlights what makes Widespread Panic a mainstay in live music.
