On Thursday, June 5, destiny road led Billy Strings to The Chicago Theatre to revisit his old friends, Widespread Panic. The happenstance was possible as a result of proximity; Strings’ tour pulled into the region ahead of their arrival on the Allstate Arena stage in nearby Rosemont, Ill. [June 6-7], making for a tangible exchange built on a pair of prior intersections, Mempho Fest 2021 and the Ryman in 2019. Last night’s performance continued the ensemble and their guest’s live histories, representing their longest exchange to date.
