Marches to a Different Drum

Late last year Widespread Panic founding member Todd Nance left the legendary Southern jam band to attend to some personal matters. The longtime WSP drummer resurfaces this weekend in West Ashley when he plays two shows along with The Dyrty Byrds from Colorado.
In Nance’s absence, Duane Trucks, the younger brother of Allman Brothers Band guitarist Derek Trucks, has stepped in to play drums for WSP.
Since forming in 2009 Dyrty Byrds have been churning out steady doses of southern influenced rock ‘n’ roll throughout the Rocky Mountains. The band was born out of the desire to bring this sound to the mountains and over the past few years they’ve been playing shows all over Colorado and the Southeast and many points in between.
In an age of synthetic instruments and pitch-bent vocals the Dyrty Byrds have stayed true to the classically driven style rock’n’ roll while giving it their own Rocky Mountain twist.
Nance has played with the Dyrty Byrds in the past but this will be the first time they have played together in Charleston.
Todd Nance & The Dyrty Byrds will play a show on Friday and another on Saturday at Home Team BBQ, located at 1205 Ashley River Road. Tickets are $15 per show or $30 for both shows. To purchase tickets, visit http://charleston.strangertickets.com/events/24263960
