The Friends of the Brothers is a celebration of the music of the Allman Brothers Band, with members closely associated with the original band and continuing the brotherhood with passion, committed to the ideals of every night being special and unique. They will be joined for this special performance by drummer Jaimoe, the sole surviving original member of the Allman Brothers Band and member of the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame.
Jaimoe, a Gulfport, Mississippi native, was the first member Duane Allman asked to be in his new band in 1969. Together, they put together the rest of the group. Prior to that, Jaimoe - born Jonie Lee Johnson - performed with Otis Redding, Percy Sledge, Joe Tex and other soul greats.
Guitarist/singer Junior Mack has fronted Jaimoe’s Jasssz Band for 12 years and starred in the critically acclaimed Broadway show Lackawanna Blues. Guitarist Andy Aledort played with Dickey Betts for a decade, has recorded with Double Trouble and Band of Gypsys and toured with Experience Hendrix. Singer/guitarist Alan Paul is the author of two New York Times best-selling biographies of the ABB, One Way Out and Brothers and Sisters, based on 25 years of reporting on and interviewing the band.
The group members’ first-hand experience with the Allman Brothers Band and their deep knowledge of the repertoire and the music’s roots and heritage allows them to play with an unrivaled depth. They perform songs from every phase of the Allman Brothers Band’s career, backed by a band of inspirational, veteran players, drummers Dave Diamond (Zen Tricksters, Bob Weir, Robert Randolph) and Lee Finkelstein (Tower of Power, Blues Brothers) and bassist Craig Privett (Half Step) and keyboardist Mike Katzman (Leslie Mendolsohn).
The Big House Museum in Macon, GA was the house where members of the band, their roadies, friends and families lived until 1973. It was the focal point of gathering in those early years when the Allman Brothers Band was just taking shape. We will donate $1 of your ticket cost to The Big House Museum.
