Jimmy Herring, the exceptional guitarist of Widespread Panic, Aquarium Rescue Unit, Phil Lesh & Friends, The Dead, Jazz Is Dead and more, announced a new project dubbed Jimmy Herring and The Invisible Whip earlier in the year. The band, composed of former Aquarium Rescue Unit drummer Jeff Sipe, Jason Crosby on Wurlitzer and Rhodes, Kevin Scott on bass, and Matt Slocum on B3 Organ and clavinet in addition to the legendary guitarist, has just extended their tour, adding numerous dates during their solo tour across July through September of this year.
The first leg of the Jimmy Herring and the Invisible Whip tour in the late summer will serve as a warm-up for when the group will join up with John McLaughlin for their joint Meeting Of The Spirits tour in September, which will also see McLaughlin perform music from his work with the Mahavishnu Orchestra. Each stop on The Meeting Of The Spirits tour will see the two legendary guitarists, Herring and McLaughlin, and their respective ensembles perform two separate sets, then come together for a collaborative, improvised encore. You can check out the revised dates for Jimmy Herring below, and snag tickets here.
