Spirit moves in all things, but especially through great music. Few bands have ever captured the transformative power of live performance quite like the Grateful Dead, and their influence echoes in the way live music can deliver a crowd into an unforgettable, collective experience. That same spirit finds a unique home in the music of Widespread Panic, a band whose legacy lives on not only through their recordings but through the devoted performances of inspired musicians like Austin’s own Panic Stricken.
Founded in 2014, Panic Stricken has carved out a reputation for their faithful renditions of Widespread Panic’s catalog, infused with heartfelt improvisation and a deep love for the music. The band’s devotion to honoring the rich tradition of Widespread Panic—and particularly the genius of their late guitarist, Michael Houser, lovingly known as the “lingering lead”—shines through in every performance.
