COL. BRUCE'S ZAM-BI-EARTH DAY | TENN.

  • Send to a Friend

On Saturday April 28, Widespread Panic will perform at the Murphy Center on the campus of Middle Tennessee State University. Afterwards, there will be a show of great magnitude held at 527 Main Street in Murfreesboro. It will be Col. Bruce's "zam-Bi-Earth-Day!" Bruce's official birthday is on April 30th, but the show will start just before midnight on April 29th.

An interesting note, 527 Mainstreet is the only place in history that WSP ever opened for Aquarium Rescue Unit. Widespread has played a few times at Mainstreet several years ago, and if you turn to your Everyday Companion you will find an interesting trend. Three of the four times in Murfreesboro (TN Companion stats) at Mainstreet they have played "Can't Find My Way Home." This song has become increasingly scarce, and they encored with it twice at 527 Mainstreet. You won't want to miss these two shows. Come pay homage to "The King of Jam" as he takes the stage for another birthday!

Below you will find the unbelievable line-up and basic info about the show.
Late night on Saturday April 28th at 527 Mainstreet, Murfreesboro, TN.
