Widespread Panic

Nance was invited to join a band in 1986 by guitarist Michael Houser, a friend from his high school days. The band soon called themselves widespread Panic. The mix of the group of Southern Rock, Blues, and Hard Rock along with their excellent live performances earned the band a big following. Nance left the band in 2016 and toured with his musical outfit Todd Nance & Friends.
