JIMMY HERRING - RENOWNED LEAD GUITARIST OF WIDESPREAD PANIC - ANNOUNCES NEW SOLO ALBUM AND TOUR

SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE SET FOR AUGUST 21ST RELEASE ON ABSTRACT LOGIX

FALL TOUR SET - INCLUDING DATES WITH VICTOR WOOTEN

JIMMY HERRING, one of the most sought after American guitarists today,
has set the release date of August 21 for his second solo album,
Subject To Change Without Notice, through Abstract Logix Records. As
the founding member of The Aquarium Rescue Unit, Project Z and Jazz is
Dead, in addition to playing with everyone from The Allman Brothers
Band, The Grateful Dead to Phil Lesh and Friends, and Bela Fleck,
HERRING has made his indelible impact on the music world. He currently
serves as the lead guitarist for the very popular American Band,
Widespread Panic.

Prior to releasing his first solo outing, Lifeboat, HERRING was known
for his limitless improvisations, long flowing phrases, and highly
charged, yet soulful, lead guitar that drew high praises from a
diverse set within the musician community including Chick Corea, John
McLaughlin to Dweezil Zappa. Throughout his early career, he plied his
skills in multiple musical contexts, ranging from classically
song-driven rock to technically demanding jazz fusion.

Now, with the release of his second album, Subject To Change Without
Notice, HERRING has compiled eight original songs highlighted by the
addition of amazing covers, including the Mahavishnu Orchestra's
"Hope", George Harrison's "Within You Without You" and Jimmy McGriff's
"Miss Poopie". As one of the industry's top-tier performance and
recording guitarists, HERRING has once again illuminated the art form
that transcends any categorization.

With HERRING on lead guitar, the album also features such top notch
musicians as Neal Fountain, Etienne Mbappe (Bass), Jeff Sipe, Tyler
Greenwell (Drums), Matt Slocum (Piano/Keys). In addition, making
special guest appearances on the album are Bela Fleck (Banjo), and
Bill Evans (Sax) and Nicky Sanders (Violin) from the Steep Canyon
Rangers.
