Widespread Panic drummer Todd Nance is organizing a benefit concert in Athens, GA, to support the Garrie Vereen Roadie Fund at Nuci’s Space. The “Bar Tab 5” show will be held at the Georgia Theatre on May 12th.
Nance has been on hiatus from WSP since October, as Duane Trucks has been touring with the band. Meanwhile, Nance returned to the stage briefly for an appearance with the Dyrty Byrds on March 11th in Colorado, but this benefit will be his first major appearance.
A number of performers have been tapped for the benefit, including Domingo “Sunny” Ortiz, Larry Acquaviva, David Barbe, Randall Bramblett, James Calemine, Eric Carter, Sam Holt, Patterson Hood, Daniel Hutchens, John Keane, Kathy Kirbo, Eric Martinez, Spanky McClure, Jon Mills, John Neff, Tori Pater, Aaron Phillips, William Tonks, and Col. Bruce Hampton.
Tickets will go on sale Friday, March 27 at 10 AM Eastern via Ticketfly.
