Jimmy Herring and The Invisible Whip: Live at San Antonio’s Tobin Center, August 31 [Event Preview]

San Antonio spread-heads rejoice! Jimmy Herring is posting up at the Tobin Center in Texas on August 31.

                  Between a full-time position in Widespread Panic and shorter stints with several other bands, Herring is generally kept quite busy. The Invisible Whip tour will mark his first solo tour in about five years, and will feature new music as well as music from his previous two albums. The supporting players are his incredibly talented friends Jeff Sipe, Matt Slocum, Kevin Scott and Jason Crosby.

                  It sounds like an adventure film, was my first thought..Jimmy Herring and the Invisible Whip. But the name is a significant for all the players involved. The invisible Whip is what long-time friend Col. Bruce Hampton, called the intangible force that drives the music being played.

The name no doubt takes on more meaning in light of Hampton’s recent death, after collapsing onstage during an epic, star-studded “Turn On Your Lovelight” encore at his 70th birthday celebration concert earlier this month.

                  Anybody who has yet to see Jimmy Herring in any of his projects would do well to catch this one. Particularly guitarists. As a guitarist myself, seeing Herring jam is damn near a religious experience, and it will inspire the guitar god within to shine forth and bathe the world in music.
