NEW WIDESPREAD PANIC STUDIO ALBUM OUT NOW!

ATO Records is pleased to announce the release of Widespread Panic‘s
new studio album,
Dirty Side Down, available now at: http://itunes.com/widespreadpanic/dirtysidedown, widespreadpanic.com, and record
stores nationally.

As a special bonus to JamBase visitors, you can now stream the album in its
entirety
all week!

Dirty Side Down incorporates a unique blend of rock, jazz and blues-inspired
textures into songs flowing with melody, rhythm and emotion. New York Press describes the
Widespread Panic experience as “not only unique” but “powerful, transcendent.”

As their eleventh studio album, Dirty Side Downex emplifies the band’s continuing success
to raise the bar in both songwriting and performance within their genre. These co-written
songs, such as the dark, multi-layered opener “Saint Ex,” the boogie blues of “Jaded
Tourist” or the laid-back southern charm of “When You Comin Home,” showcase Widespread
Panic’s dynamic range as songwriters and musicians.

After 24 years together, Widespread Panic remains one of America’s best live bands and
most successful touring acts. The 24-date, 17-city “Dirty Side Down Tour” kicks off with
three nights at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, CO, and later includes headlining
festival dates, three nights at the Chicago Theater, as well an evening at the legendary
Radio City Music Hall. Nine different shows will feature the “Feeding People Through
Music” food drives, where fans will be able to make donations to the local area food banks
at the venues.

NEW WIDESPREAD PANIC STUDIO ALBUM DIRTY SIDE DOWN

TO BE RELEASED BY ATO RECORDS ON MAY 25

Widespread Panic

Dirty Side Down, the 11th studio album from Widespread Panic is set for a May 25 release on ATO Records. Dirty Side Down is comprised of 12 songs that incorporate Panic’s unique blend of rock, jazz and blues inspired textures into songs flowing with melody, rhythm and emotion.

After 24 years, Widespread Panic remain one of America’s best live bands, and most successful touring acts. Aside from their legendary live shows, they continue to raise the bar in their genre through their songwriting, and Dirty Side Down is a prime example. Band members John Bell (vocals/guitar), John Herman (keyboards/vocals), Jimmy Herring (lead guitar), Todd Nance (drums/vocals), Domingo Ortiz (percussion) and Dave Schools (bass/vocals) combine their efforts by writing, or co-writing, 10 of the album’s 12 tracks.

Songs, such as the dark, multi-layered opener “Saint Ex,” the boogie blues of “Jaded Tourist” or the laid back Southern nature of “When You Comin’ Home” showcase Widespread Panic’s dynamic range as songwriters and musicians.

One of the highlights of Dirty Side Down is the hauntingly beautiful cover of “This Cruel Thing” written by the late Vic Chesnutt, whose songs the band has recorded and performed for years. Widespread Panic has previously collaborated with Chesnutt on two albums under the name Brute. “I guess Widespread Panic and Vic aren’t quite done with each other yet,” says Panic lead singer John Bell.

Dirty Side Down was produced John Keane along with Widespread Panic. Keane also engineered, mixed and mastered the album, as well as contributed pedal steel and acoustic guitar.
