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 (spring tour
only) 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.
