ATO Records is pleased to announce the release of Widespread Panic‘s new studio album, Dirty Side Down, available now at: http://itunes.com/widespreadpanic/dirtysidedown, widespreadpanic.com, and record stores nationally. As a special bonus to JamBase visitors, you can now stream the album in its entirety all week!
Dirty Side Down incorporates a unique blend of rock, jazz and blues-inspired textures into songs flowing with melody, rhythm and emotion. New York Press describes the Widespread Panic experience as “not only unique” but “powerful, transcendent.”
As their eleventh studio album, Dirty Side Downex emplifies the band’s continuing success to raise the bar in both songwriting and performance within their genre. These co-written songs, such as the dark, multi-layered opener “Saint Ex,” the boogie blues of “Jaded Tourist” or the laid-back southern charm of “When You Comin Home,” showcase Widespread Panic’s dynamic range as songwriters and musicians.
After 24 years together, Widespread Panic remains one of America’s best live bands and most successful touring acts. The 24-date, 17-city “Dirty Side Down Tour” kicks off with three nights at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, CO, and later includes headlining festival dates, three nights at the Chicago Theater, as well an evening at the legendary Radio City Music Hall. Nine different shows will feature the “Feeding People Through Music” food drives, where fans will be able to make donations to the local area food banks at the venues.
