Allman Brothers to continue New York tradition
The Rock and Roll Hall of Famers will launch their two-week stand March 22, and hold down the top spot at the 2,900-seat hall through the first week of April. The band began its Beacon Theatre tradition in 1989 and has performed there more than 160 times since, according to a press release.
The group also announced tentative plans for an extended national tour later this year, which aims for 25 dates over August and early September. The only other shows currently on the band's horizon are a pair of headlining performances at the April 13-14 Wanee Festival in Live Oak, FL. The outdoor festival also features Allmans' "sister" act Gov't Mule (featuring current Allmans' guitarist Warren Haynes). More information can be found on the festival's website.
The Allmans' lineup for the upcoming gigs will include Gregg Allman (vocals, keyboards), Butch Trucks (drums, tympani), Jaimoe (drums), Haynes, (vocals, lead and slide guitar), Derek Trucks (slide and lead guitar), Oteil Burbridge (bass) and Marc Quinones (congas, percussion).
The Allman Brothers Band released its self-titled debut in 1969. The group's most recent studio release is 2003's "Hittin' the Note," which marked the first new studio album from the band in nine years.
