Sometimes you just really fall in love with a band. Deadheads and phish fans know what this statement means. Richard Gober was bit by the Widespread Panic bug in 1993 and its been a love affair ever since. A part-time musician and to the max music lover, especially of the jam genre, Gober spent hours and hours studying and listening to their music. Widespread Panic offered him also an outlet for expanding his guitar and vocal offerings. The more he studied the band, the more he was able to more naturally fit into the shoes of frontman, John Bell.
