Late last month it was revealed this year’s Peach Music Festival would host an all-star tribute to late Allman Brothers Band co-founding members Butch Trucks and Gregg Allman. At the time, the lineup wasn’t announced but today organizers detailed just who will play the special set as part of this year’s festival at Montage Mountain in Scranton, Pennsylvania August 10 – 13.

Former Allman Brothers Band keyboardist and current Rolling Stones member Chuck Leavell has been tapped as musical director. Leavell will be joined by co-founding ABB member Jaimoe and two other musicians who were part of the Allman Brothers Band’s final lineup, bassist Oteil Burbridge and percussionist Marc Quinones. Widespread Panic/Hard Working Americans drummer Duane Trucks is aboard as are ABB family members Devon Allman, Berry Oakley Jr. and Vaylor Trucks. The Gregg Allman Band is represented by Scott Sharrard and Pete Levin, while former ABB guitarist Jack Pearson, young blues guitarist Marcus King and Les Brers members Bruce Katz, Lamar Williams Jr. and Pet Bergeson round out the lineup. More guests are expected to take part in the tribute.

This year’s Peach Music Festival will also feature performances from My Morning Jacket, Widespread Panic, Gov’t Mule with John Scofield, Lettuce with Chaka Kahn, Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, Greensky Bluegrass, Umphrey’s McGee, Mike Gordon and dozens more. See the daily lineup in the graphic below.
