Brooklyn Bowl To Host ‘Friends Of The Brothers’ Allman Brothers Band Tribute

The music of the Allman Brothers Band will be celebrated at Brooklyn Bowl in New York City on Tuesday, August 22. “Friends Of The Brothers” will feature members of the Gregg Allman Band, Dickey Betts’ Great Southern and Jaimoe’s Jasssz Band as well as ABB biographer Alan Paul.

“When Butch died last January I wanted to put together a tribute and thought of my dream lineup: Peter Levin (Gregg Allman), Andy Aledort (Dickey Betts) and Junior Mack (Jaimoe’s Jasssz Band). When they all said yes, we played a glorious night of music last March,” said Paul, author of the Allman Brothers Band biography One Way Out. “When Gregg died, we all knew we had to get the band together again to honor our friends and the music we love so much.”

Friends Of The Brothers will also feature Zen Tricksters drummer Dave Diamond and bassist Craig Privett. “The Allman Brothers catalog is some of the most important and influential music of the last 50 years,” said Aledort. “For a serious musician it’s very challenging to play it well. And I just love it…I love the playing of Duane Allman and Dickey Betts, as well as Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks and I love the songs.”

Tickets are on sale via Ticketfly.
