With Widespread Panic taking a lull in their touring schedule this year, it seems guitarist Jimmy Herring will be heading out with a new ensemble called Jimmy Herring and The Invisible Whip. Announced this morning, Herring’s new band will feature a number of familiar friends getting together to put down some great music.
The band is composed of Jeff Sipe on drums, Jason Crosby on Wurlitzer/Rhodes keyboards, Matt Slocum on the B3 organ, and Kevin Scott on the bass. Though the band has yet to announce any specific tour dates, they write, “Coming soon to a town near you in 2017 and beyond.”
We can’t wait to see what the Invisible Whip has in store for us! Herring also has plans to tour with John McLaughlin at the end of this year, so perhaps that tour will feature Herring’s new group. You can see the band’s new poster, below.
