[edit] History
The first known grouping of Chesnutt with the members of the band was at John Keane's studio in Athens, GA. There, the collaboration recorded an album in early December of 1993.[1] The members of Widespread Panic that participated in brute. were David Schools on bass, Michael Houser on guitar, John Herman on percussion, Todd Nance on drums, and John Bell on dobro and vocals.
The album recorded at Keane's studio was titled Nine High a Pallet. The band never formally toured in support of this album, which was released on September 12, 1995. Their first performance on stage was on January 18, 1995 at the Georgia Theater in Athens and their last was at the Tabernacle in Atlanta, GA on April 9, 2002. The band itself only performed an average of once per year, usually in the spring, in or around Atlanta. In total, the band played six shows between 1995 and 2002, not including one radio show in Asheville, NC. In 2002, the band recorded a follow-up to their debut album, entitled Co-balt.
On April 25, 2007, the third night of a three night Widespread Panic run in Athens, GA, Vic joined the band on stage to play the brute. song Protein Drink/Sewing Machine.
