GREGG ALLMAN Back on the Road as ABB Takes a Break

MUSIC NEWS  -  With the final leg of the Allman Brothers Band year-long 40th Anniversary USA tour finished and ABB on a well deserved break, founding band member,  GREGG ALLMAN announced he will head back out on the road for series of solo shows this winter. The singer, songwriter, keyboardist and guitarist begins his fall tour November 11 in Salamanca, NY, followed by a group of shows that includes a NYC benefit for the Michael J Fox Foundation and a New Year’s Eve show in Rhode Island.

Joining Gregg on the tour will be BRUCE KATZ (keyboard), JERRY JEMMOTT (bass), STEVE POTTS (drums), SCOTT SHARRARD (guitar), JAY COLLINS (sax) and FLOYD MILES (percussion).  “The Brothers had a great run this summer.  I’m gonna stretch these solo shows out a bit, try some new material and just do what I do,” says Gregg

In other news, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee Allman will join country star Tim McGraw for a performance on The Jay Leno Show on Tuesday, October 27. They'll perform McGraw’s new single “Southern Voice” (from his new album of the same title) in which he name-checks the Allman Brothers Band in the lyrics.
