Widespread Panic backs album with June-July tour

The 33-date run kicks off on June 13 in San Diego and includes three-night engagements in Los Angeles, Morrison, Colo., New York and Pelham, Ala.
"Don’t Tell the Band" (Sanctuary), Widespread Panic's first studio recording since 1999’s "'Til the Medicine Takes" (Capricorn), hits stores on June 19. Widespread Panic worked with longtime producer John Keane and engineer Doug Trantow, whose credits include Tracy Chapman, Sugar Ray and Limp Bizkit. The album includes a cover of fIREHOSE’s "Sometimes."
