Panic Stricken

Panic Stricken out of Austin, Texas shares the music of Widespread Panic through faithful renditions and improvisational jams. Founded in 2014, the band quickly gained attention following a memorable fill-in performance at Empire Control Room and Garage in 2021. The group’s performances continue to captivate audiences across the USA. Here’s to many more years of celebrating Widespread Panic’s music!

Great music inevitably gets reproduced and replayed and recreated, and great musicians will inevitably have many progeny to carry on their work. Widespread Panic is among these greats and now their Musical tradition, their sound, the experience they forged and the spirit it brings have inspired their musical progeny in the austin-based band called Panic Stricken. And what an appropriate name because it is clear that this merry band of brothers, all talented musicians and highly skilled performers, are stricken with genuine love for everything that Widespread Panic brought to the world, including and especially the unbelievably brilliant, yet sadly cut short, musical genius and singular sound of Michael Houser, the late Widespread Panic guitarist lovingly known to all as the ‘lingering lead.’

Panic Stricken is a band for those who truly love the music and the spirit of Widespread Panic… and can never get enough of it. But, they also amaze the uninitiated, which is why their motto is “We spread the gospel of Widespread Panic.”
