Widespread Opens for The Who?

The legendary English rock band who first came to prominence in the 1960s and grew to be considered one of the greatest rock 'n' roll bands of all time, The Who are on tour celebrating their 10th anniversary.

The Who have been on tour since June 2006 and plan to perform into 2007 and after over 40 years the band still brings an energy to the stage that is hard to match.

With so many songs like Magic Bus, My Generation and Won't Get Fooled Again, they helped redefine the very genre that they were a part of. Complete with Pete Townshend and vocalist Roger Daltrey the band is scheduled to play the Long Beach Arena - Long Beach Convention Center, CA on Mon, Feb 26, 2007 07:30 PM.

According to the Long Beach Press-Telegram the opening act will be Widespread Panic.

Tickets, ranging from $47 to $152, go on sale Monday at 10 a.m. at all Ticketmaster locations.

Jojo's Mardi Gras Band 07' Tour

Mardi Gras Band

JoJo formed the Mojo Mardi Gras Band shortly after his band, Widespread Panic, decided to take a year and a half off from their rigorous touring schedule.

The band made up of Max Abrams (Saxophone), Johnny Few (Bass), Hunter Williams (Percussion), Kevin Mabin (Drums), and keyboard player John “JoJo” Hermann creates a sound that keeps listeners dancing all night. Being regular players at many Middle Tennessee Churches, Johnny Few and Kevin Mabin offer a great deal of natural talent and soul to the group.
The band focuses on the sound of New Orleans that was pioneered by artists like Professor Longhair, Dr. John, and The Funky Meters, all of which were a huge part of JoJo’s musical background. JoJo and His MoJo Mardi Gras Band performed at festivals like Bonnaroo and Nashville River Stages and toured in Fall of 2004.

In capturing the quintessential sound of New Orleans, The Mojo Mardi Gras Band provides a night of dancing, partying, and great entertainment. Keep an eye out for occassional performances by this band.
