Jimmy Herring Band For the first time ever, legendary guitarist Jimmy Herring is hitting the road under his own name, with a hand-picked ensemble of all-star musicians in support. Pioneering a daring hybrid which crosses rock energy with the sophistication and improvisational fire of jazz, Herring’s dynamic, exploratory guitar playing has been a key component of such renowned groups as the Aquarium Rescue Unit, Jazz is Dead, Project Z, and, most recently, Widespread Panic – with whom Herring plays lead guitar to this day. Much esteemed by his fellow musicians, Herring has also been called upon for stints with Phil Lesh and Friends, the Allman Brothers, and the Dead.
2009 marks the formation of the Jimmy Herring Band, featuring Herring on guitar, drummer extraordinaire Jeff Sipe (Aquarium Rescue Unit, Jazz is Dead, Shawn Lane), prolific jazz maverick Greg Osby on saxophone, multifaceted keyboardist Scott Kinsey (Tribal Tech), and musical chameleon Oteil Burbridge on bass (Allman Brothers, Aquarium Rescue Unit).
The Jimmy Herring Band will be performing a wide range of material, including compositions from Herring’s long-awaited and much-acclaimed 2008 solo debut “Lifeboat.” In addition, there will be some cover tunes from various influential records from the 60’s and 70’s– and select favorites from the catalogues of the individual band members.
Herring is understandably excited about the prospect of performing this music with this lineup over an extended period of time. “It’s a shot of adrenaline to get to play with musicians who are pushing the envelope and breaking down the walls that exist between genres of music. Each of these musicians inspires with every note they play.”
“Lifeboat” is the debut solo album from Jimmy Herring released on Abstract Logix Music.
Jess, where are they playing in Nashvegas? I got someone who is intrestested in Jimmy Herring pix and offered to help me get comped in if he played somewhere close....this might be a good opportunity.....
OK....just got word from my contact that I am in on the band's list for Promo and Press shots so I will be there! SOOOO excited to be doing this as PR for the band!! Can't WAIT!! Don't know how it will all work out but am having faith that it will.....technically I am dong the PR for Greg, the sax player but have permission from the tour manager to shot the whole band...soo you guys wish me luck!! And Jess....I am going to try to get there early to get things settled....any suggestions for a close by spot for a beer and a small bite to eat in the close neighborhood???
This word also has a underground meaning once you break it down. Let’s take “Bonn” for example and it actually turns into the word “Bone”. We all know gays use this word to describe the action of when they are fecal fisting their Cuban cabana boy at their sex bath house parties. Now let’s look at Roo, “Roo” is short for “Kangaroo”.So put the full true message together and you get“Bone a Kangaroo
And Jess....I am going to try to get there early to get things settled....any suggestions for a close by spot for a beer and a small bite to eat in the close neighborhood???
