JoJo Hermann and Jerry Joseph are probably best known for their involvement with Widespread Panic, but their rich musicianship extends far beyond the jam.
Hermann’s New Orleans’ piano boogie-woogie songwriting style stems from some of the most legendary New Orleans players specifically Professor Longhair and Dr. John. In addition to playing keys for Widespread Panic since 1992, Hermann has made a name for himself with his lead vocals on many New Orleans’ style jazz and blues covers, as well as originals. His side projects include JoJo and His Mojo Mardi Gras Band and a group that includes Luther and Cody Dickinson of the North Mississippi Allstars.
