Widespread Panic finally kicked off their five night stand at the Beacon Theatre in New York, NY last Thursday, after two rounds of cancellations from COVID-19. The community finally got their chance to convene in the storied Upper West Side venue to hear their favorite southern jam rock tunes. The music was certainly worth the wait, as this six piece squad from Athens, Georgia crushed round one.

John “JoJo" Hermann most notably known for his role as songwriter, keyboard player and vocals with Widespread Panic. He joined the Athens, Georgia based band in 1992 and is still with them today.
