ABOUT THE ALLMOND BROTHERS

The Allmond Brothers do justice to the Allman Brothers Band’s landmark live album, At Fillmore East, plus greatest hits including “Midnight Rider,” “Ramblin’ Man,” “Melissa,” “Blue Sky” and other favorites. During their formative years, Gregg and Duane were in the Allman Joys, playing on name of the Almond Joy candy bar with its slogan, “Sometimes you feel like a nut.” The Allmond Brothers have fun playing off it as well, while remaining true to the spirit of the Allmans’ legendary music.

Josh Brough has led Poor Man’s Whiskey on tours across America for over twenty years and has sold out historic venues such as the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco. Brough is “murderously good” in the Gregg Allman role on vocals and keyboards, earning him the nickname "Allmond Boy."

Jules Leyhe has "the best slide licks since Derek Trucks, maybe even Duane Allman," according to Premier Guitar. He regularly plays the National Anthem at the Oakland Colosseum and Oracle Park for events including major league baseball games and monster truck rallies. He also plays along with Jimmy Leslie in the modern/classic rock outfit Spirit Hustler. Bandmates call Jules "Greasy" because Leyhe's Southern-fried slide licks are so damn tasty.

Jimmy Leslie is Frets Editor at Guitar Player and veteran of the all-star Allman Family Revival shows at the Fillmore where he played alongside Devon Allman, Duane Betts, Robert Randolph, G. Love, Jimmy Hall and many more roots rock stars. Leslie plays the Dickey Betts role with a fiery Southern flare on vocals and guitar, aka “Trickey Frets.”

The Allmond Brothers was born when Leslie produced Guitar Player Presents 5th anniversary celebration honoring Duane Allman at John Lee Hooker's legendary Boom Boom Room. 15 musicians including special guests Luther Dickinson (Black Crowes, North Mississippi Allstars), Marke “Jellyroll” Burgstahler (Gregg Allman & Friends, Alameda Allstars) and James Nash (The Waybacks) played their hearts out to an overjoyed audience that went absolutely nuts. There was too much love for it not to live on as—The Allmond Brothers!

Eric Wood of the East Bay’s Foreigner & Journey tribute Forejour plays drums and adds a remarkable third vocal. Several low-end experts are in the Allmonds mix, and Sean Leahy (Guitarmageddon) will bring it for this play at Almost Famous.

Always authentic and entertaining, highlights of many Allmond Brothers road conquests include explosive performances at the High Sierra, Guitarfish and Star City Music Festivals. Full review below. Don’t miss this historic show!

The Allmond Brothers Clan at High Sierra by Dennis Cook, Jambase
“A tribute band is a tricky thing. Genuflect too much and you’re a boring recreation, stray too far off the blueprint and folks won’t recognize the source material, which is a central aspect to a tribute’s pleasure. This Allman Brothers homage led by Guitar Player Magazine’s Jimmy Leslie (who plays the Dickey role) gets the balance just right. Unlike the Grateful Dead, Beatles or Stones, few bands cover the Allmans because it is a separate language that swirls gutbucket blues with jazz sophistication. Just as most of us don’t speak Esperanto, Allman-ese isn’t common, and it was exciting to see this large band teach themselves how to talk eloquently. PMW’s Josh Brough is murderously good as Gregg “Allmond Boy” Allmond, attacking the organ and vocals with the gusto of a young Gregg. Most of us weren’t able to see ABB when Duane was alive but the hunger for that music remains. The Allmond Brothers fulfills that appetite.”
