Today we look back to August 2, 2006…George McConnell Leaves Widespread Panicposted a statement to its websiteWhen co-founding band member Mikey Houser passed away four years ago, McConnell, along with saxophonist Randall Bramblett, joined forces with Widespread Panic, and the band played on.Longtime friend and producer John Keane has been playing both the pedal steel and electric guitar throughout this recent tour, along with guitarist Sam Holt, founder of the band Outformation- who has been sitting in from time to time. The remainder of Widespread Panics summer tour will proceed at full steam.Bottom line is there’s still songs to be played, music to make, and that’s whats going to happen, singer/guitarist John Bell added. Well miss George a lot. I’m very grateful to him for lending us his talent and friendship these past four years, and we wish him all the best.A Pig Flies at FujiEnter The BarnDVDLive In BrooklynFarmhouseRound RoomUndermind
