When they got together hack in Athens, Georgia in 1986, the original members of Widespread Panic had no idea that they would grow to be the international success they have since become. Starting of at the University of Georgia in 1981, two guys by the names of John Bell and Michael Houser met and started the beginning of what would soon grow, Widespread Panic. A couple of years later they were joined by the bass talent of Dave Schools, and they were jamming together and rocking out all through the 80's. In 1986 they added drummer Todd Nance to the mix, and later on percussionist Domingo S. Ortiz as well as keyboardist John Hermann.

After they got comfortable with all of the additions and were starting to jam in sync, Widespread Panic started to spread their out away for just playing around Georgia, and they started venturing on out to places such as South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama and Virginia. Audiences everywhere were falling in lover and soon enough they were signing with Landslide Records. Space Wrangler was their first debut album release, and it had quite a load of amazing guest appearance from Alberto Salazarte to Phish.

The band held a free release party for their album in Athens and almost one hundred thousand fans came to ring in their honor. Widespread Panic seemed to be going faster and faster and getting more popular and widely acclaimed than anyone could have expected when in 2002 guitarist Michael Houser was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Sadly, Houser passed on August 10, 2002.
