Every step of the way, though, Cool collected bits and pieces of everyday life stuff; memories, anecdotes, tall tales, and true stories. His superpower?

Widespread Panic finally kicked off their five night stand at the Beacon Theatre in New York, NY last Thursday, after two rounds of cancellations from COVID-19.

Garage A Trois have returned in the form from which they were born in 1999 with their original line-up comprised by guitarist Charlie Hunter, saxophonist Skerik and drummer Stanton Moore.
