Yesterday, the Chris Robinson Brotherhood were among the performers who appeared at Mountain Jam. Frontman Chris Robinson sat for an interview in which he discussed the circumstances surrounding his first meeting with Mountain Jam host Warren Haynes and his former The Allman Brothers Band mate Gregg Allman.

Sitting for an interview at Mountain Jam with SiriusXM’s Ari Fink, Robinson described attending The Allman Brothers’ November 19, 1990 MTV Unplugged taping in New York City. Robinson was there with his brother and former The Black Crowes band mate Rich Robinson and had rather different experiences when introduced to Haynes and later to Allman.

Here’s Chris sharing the self-deprecating tale:
