Jimmy Herring announced a new group, The 5 of 7, last month along with a batch of fall tour dates, and now the Widespread Panic guitarist has expanded the outing, adding shows in his home base of the Southeast in November.
The new dates kick off Nov. 7 in Savannah, GA before moving to Herring's home state for a show at Asheville, NC's Orange Peel the following night, then to Panic's hometown of Athens, GA, Nov. 9 for a gig at the Georgia Theatre. The new tour leg also includes stops in Macon, GA, Nashville, New Orleans and more before closing out in Atlanta Nov. 20.
Along with Herring, The 5 of 7 project includes keyboardist Matt Slocum, vocalist/guitarist Rick Lollar, bassist Kevin Scott and drummer Darren Stanley. “There’ll be vocals, there’ll be instrumentals. There will be funk and rock and roll, with some songs leaning towards more sophisticated harmony," Herring said of the 5 of 7 tour. "But, to me, it’s just music.”
See the full tour schedule below. Tickets for the new dates go on sale this Friday, June 7. More information can be found here.
