!Whiplash! features a night of musical magic with wiZards such as guitar-playing virtuoso, Eric McFadden, who has toured the world both as a solo artist, as well as traveling with funk legend George Clinton of Parliament/Funkadelic and rock legend Eric Burdon of The Animals. McFadden regularly plays with greats such as Anders Osbourne, Widespread Panic, The Reverend Horton Heat, Les Claypool, Fishbone, members of The Meters, among others.
