THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND CONFIRM WEST COAST TOUR DATES FOR “40 YEARS OF HIGHS & LOWS” ANNIVERSARY TOUR

ALL BEACON SHOWS BROADCAST LIVE ON MOOGIS.COM

Meanwhile, the ABB’s current run at New York City’s Beacon Theatre has brought out a who’s who of musician friends.  Late last week, Trey Anastasio and Page McConnell of Phish sat in during “Southbound,” “I Know You Rider” and “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed.”  That same night (Thursday 3/12), Buddy Guy also joined Anastasio and McConnell for “Southbound” and performed with the group on “The Sky Is Crying” and “You Don’t Love Me.”  Friday night’s highlights included appearances by Boz Scaggs, the Asbury Jukes’ horn section and Bruce Willis on harp, while Saturday’s set saw pedal steel ace Robert Randolph and Return To Forever’s bassist Stanley Clarke drummer Lenny White, and jazz horn legend Randy Brecker on trumpet.

All 15 of the Beacon shows are being broadcast on the cutting-edge webscast www.moogis.com, which has received an overwhelmingly positive response from fans who have subscribed.

The ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND–GREGG ALLMAN (vocals and keyboards), BUTCH TRUCKS (drums and tympani), JAIMOE (drums), WARREN HAYNES (vocals, lead and slide guitar), DEREK TRUCKS (slide and lead guitar), OTEIL BURBRIDGE (bass) and MARC QUINONES (congas and percussion)–are delivering sets that vary every night, pulling from their vast catalog of iconic American rock (“Whipping Post,” “Midnight Rider,” “Statesboro Blues,” “Mountain Jam,” “Melissa”) and select covers of songs by their favorite musicians.

In addition to this outing, the ABB will host and headline the 5th annual Wanee Music Festival June 5th and 6th in Live Oak, FL featuring an eclectic group of like-minded musicians including Gov’t Mule, Derek Trucks Band, the Doobie Brothers, Toots and the Maytals, Little Feat, Umphrey’s McGee, The Wailers, Drive-By Truckers, and more.
