MUSIC NEWS - Guitarist Jimmy Herring (Aquarium Rescue Unit, Jazz is Dead, The Dead, Phil Lesh & Friends, and Widespread Panic) has just announced a tour with his own band; The Jimmy Herring Band. It features Herring on guitar, drummer Jeff Sipe (Aquarium Rescue Unit, Jazz is Dead, Shawn Lane), prolific jazz maverick Greg Osby on saxophone, keyboardist Scott Kinsey (Tribal Tech), and musical chameleon Oteil Burbridge (Allman Brothers, Aquarium Rescue Unit) on bass for the Spring shows.
Herring's amazing guitar work has been a key part of several renowned groups like the Aquarium Rescue Unit, Jazz is Dead, Project Z, and, most recently, Widespread Panic, a band Herring still plays lead guitar with. He's also performed with Phil Lesh and Friends, the Allman Brothers, and the Dead. The Jimmy Herring Band will perform a range of music on the tour, including tunes from Herring's much-acclaimed 2008 solo album debut "Lifeboat" (on Abstract Logix Music). The band will also cover influential tracks from the 60's & 70's and favorites from the catalogs of the individual band members.
