GREGG ALLMAN TO LAUNCH FALL TOUR

OCTOBER 12

Iconic road warrior GREGG ALLMAN will head back out on the road October 12 when he launches a month-long string of dates throughout the southeast.  The tour wraps November 11, when GREGG will perform at the annual “Love Ride” charity show near Los Angeles.

The singer/songwriter/keyboardist/guitarist recently finished up a summer tour with the ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND.  The group’s 30-date summer tour was highlighted by acclaimed shows at the Newport Jazz Festival and the Farm Aid benefit concert at Randall’s Island, NY along with Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp and Dave Matthews. 

On the fall GREGG ALLMAN tour, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member will be joined by MARK MCGEE (guitar), JAY COLLINS (sax), JERRY JEMMOTT (bass), BRUCE KATZ (keyboard), FLOYD MILES (percussion) and STEVE POTTS (drums).  Allman is expected to confirm more shows in late December into January.

After the Allman Brothers Band’s sold-out, 15-show residency at New York City’s Beacon Theatre in March, the group headlined their annual Wanee Festival in Florida, and also appeared at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and the Beale Street festival in Memphis.  Gregg and his band embarked on a brief West Coast tour in May, after which he performed his first-ever shows in Italy and Poland.
