For the second time in just over as many months, fiddle-fox Ann Marie Calhoun sat in for an extended guest appearance with Widespread Panic, this time at the inaugural ROTHBURY Festival in Michigan. (See Ann Marie with WSP at Walnut Creek for her previous sit in.)
For this appearance, Ann Marie joined Panic for most of the 1st set including Surprise Valley > Arleen > Surprise Valley and Take Out > Porch Song as well as the end of the 2nd set for Protein Drink > Sewing Machine and finally Life During Wartime.
Bad news... The videos that were once here have been removed by the YouTuber who posted them. I'm on the hunt for more concert videos from the show and will add them as soon as I find them. In the mean time, I've posted a somewhat shaky video of Sewing Machine.

It's my buddy “Breen-o's” birthday today. He was one of the first people to introduce me to the Southern delights of Widespread Panic.
To help him celebrate, I sleuthed down this great video. It's a young Widespread Panic, tearing up the 1989 Athens Music Festival with J.J. Cale's Travelin' Light just three years after they first played as a band and one year after the release of Space Wrangler.
What I really love about this is how stripped-down it feels. They really were Travelin' Light. The light show is especially low-budget but still manages to paint a trance-inducing psychedelic canvas on the band — at least on the video. It's a big contrast from the current setup with a tremendous lighting rig and huge LCD panels backing the band.
If you dig this track you can find the complete show on etree.
Many thanks to 8005551212 for posting this video. Sweet screen name.

Here's another great clip of Ann Marie Calhoun, this time playing Surprise Valley on the violin.
Sorry. You need to Flash to watch this movie.

Wow. That's really all I can say after seeing this amazing rendition of Stash on the fiddle.
Watch as Virginia native Ann Marie Calhoun and her brother Joe take on this ambitious tune and simply tear it up.
Her runs throughout the middle section are just stellar, and I can't disagree with the YouTube reviewer who pointed out how marvelous her intonation is.
Apparently I'm not her only fan... she just wrapped up a 4+ month tour with Steve Vai! Sounds like it was amazing tour based on Ann Marie's blog. Here's a great picture of Ann Marie Calhoun and Steve Vai in Lisbon.
Tour dates, pictures, and more videos are available on Ann Marie's MySpace page.
