Friends of The Brothers A Celebration of the Allman Brothers Band
Advertisement
Rolling Stone calls them a band that plays these songs “as if they’d written them.” The Allman Brothers Band’s own Kirk West puts it even more directly: “Friends of the Brothers isn’t a tribute band. They’re a continuation of the Brotherhood.” This is about as close to the real thing as it gets.
The Spirit, Not Just the Songs: As Alan Paul puts it, “The music is holy to us, but it’s also alive.” This is not about copying solos. It’s about honoring the open, improvisational, every-night-is-different spirit that Duane Allman built into the band’s DNA from day one.
A Live Experience Built for the True Fan: Friends of the Brothers draws from every era of the ABB catalog, backed by a band of veteran players with roots in Tower of Power, the Blues Brothers, Bob Weir’s band, and beyond.
Rooted in the Real Thing: This is not a band of admirers learning from recordings. Guitarist Junior Mack fronted Jaimoe’s Jasssz Band for twelve years. Guitarist Andy Aledort played with Dickey Betts for a decade. Singer and guitarist Alan Paul is the author of two New York Times bestsellers about the band. Several members have performed with the ABB itself. That depth of knowledge and personal connection is audible in every note.
Come ready for a night of music played with the passion, precision, and the brotherly love these songs have always deserved.
