With the passing last year of Dickey Betts, combined with the deaths in the last decade of Gregg Allman and Butch Trucks, tributes to the Allman Brothers Band have taken on a new poignancy. And one of the most highly regarded of those will return to New York’s Madison Square Garden next month.

On April 15 and 16, the Brothers, comprised of former Allmans band members and associates, will play a return engagement five years after their first (and only) show at that venue. The band includes original Allmans drummer Jaimoe...

The Allman Brothers Band played their final concert on October 28th, 2014 at New York City’s Beacon Theatre. Now, a recording of the show is being released as a live album for its 10th anniversary, available via Peach Records digitally on October 25th and as a CD box set on November 22nd (pre-order here).

In addition to the remastered audio of the show, the Final Concert 10-28-14 3xCD edition includes a 16-page booklet with exclusive photos and liner notes. Curated by Warren Haynes, the 29-song concert featured a lineup of founding members Gregg Allman, Jaimoe, and Butch Trucks alongside Haynes, Derek Trucks, Marc Quinones, and Oteil Burbridge.

Divided into three sets, the concert featured selections from six Allman Brothers Band albums, kicking off with “Little Martha” and “Mountain Jam.” Abb also played songs like “One Way Out,” “Blue Sky,” “Statesboro Blues,” “The Sky Is Crying,” and “Melissa” before closing with “Trouble No More.

Allman Brothers guitarist Dickey Betts died Thursday morning after a battle with cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

“The legendary performer, songwriter, bandleader and family patriarch was at his home in Osprey, Florida, surrounded by his family,” his family said in a statement to Rolling Stone. “Dickey was larger than life, and his loss will be felt worldwide. At this difficult time, the family asks for prayers and respect for their privacy in the coming days.”

Betts was never a household name, but rock aficionados were aware of his massive...

The Peach Music Festival has announced its 2023 lineup. The 11th installment of the festival, inspired by the Allman Brothers Band, features a roster of bands that color way outside the margins: Goose, Tedeschi Trucks Band, My Morning Jacket, and Ween will each headline a night of the four-day camping fest.

Set for June 29 through July 2 at its longtime home of Montage Mountain in Scranton, Pennsylvania, the Peach nods to its Allman Brothers originators with a special performance by Trouble No More — the Allmans-approved tribute band that re-creates the group’s music.

The Peach Music Festival, the annual music-and-camping gathering inspired by the Allman Brothers Band, has announced its 2022 lineup. Billy Strings, the Black Crowes, the Trey Anastasio Band, and Joe Russo’s Almost Dead will headline the four-day fest set for June 30 through July 3 in Scranton, Pennsylvania. This marks the second installment of the Peach since the 2020 edition was canceled by the pandemic.

The 2022 lineup is a particularly eclectic mix, nodding not just to the Allmans’ jam rock and blues that highlighted past Peach Fests, but including a number of country,...

On March 10, 2020, surviving and alumni members of the Allman Brothers Band came together to celebrate the band’s 50th anniversary.

Given that the coronavirus was beginning to bear down on the country, as well as the world, the timing was dicey at best; live shows were effectively shut down two days later. “It was just starting to dawn on everyone that day that this isn’t something to fuck around with,” guitarist Derek Trucks told Rolling Stone soon after the show. “But it also felt like one of the last...

As the live music industry’s return remains fairly nebulous amid the ongoing pandemic, Mint Talent Group — a booking agency started last year by former CAA, William Morris Endeavor, and Paradigm agents — is working with ticketing platform Lyte to set up a reservation system for a swath of its artists’ upcoming shows, the companies tell Rolling Stone. It marks Lyte’s first agency-wide deal.

Mint represents 180 clients, including notable legacy artists such as Taj Mahal, Mavis Staples and Art Garfunkel. Thirty of those artists, including Mahal, Charlie Musselwhite and Jaimoe of the Allman Brothers Band,...

Southern rockers Blackberry Smoke have set June 19th as the release date for their new Ep Live From Capricorn Sound Studios. An homage to the historic Macon, Georgia, recording facilities, which became an epicenter of the Southern Rock genre in the early Seventies, a portion of the proceeds from the Ep’s sales will be donated to the Recording Academy’s MusiCares Covid-19 Relief Fund.

The six-track collection, recorded earlier this year at the legendary studios – the first project cut there by a major recording act in over 40 years – consists...

As one of the few musicians to perform in New York just before and just after the coronavirus effectively shut down live music in the city, Derek Trucks witnessed the impact of the pandemic firsthand. On March 10th, the guitarist joined fellow former members of the Allman Brothers Band, including co-founder and drummer Jaimoe, for a 50th-anniversary tribute at Madison Square Garden. Billed as “The Brothers,” the lineup, which also featured guitarist and singer Warren Haynes and bassist Oteil Burbridge from the last Abb, ripped through nearly four hours of classic Allmans material,...

At Madison Square Garden last night, Al and Mitch from Saratoga Springs, New York, came prepared. Both longtime Allman Brothers Band fans who had first seen the group in the Seventies, they had their tickets in hand for “The Brothers: Celebrating 50 Years of the Allman Brothers Band.” Yet like everyone around them, they knew this would not be a normal night for music. Al, a Labor Department employee, pulled out a baggie his wife had stuffed with wipes, which he was planning to use to dab his seat.

“Gregg was...

Leaning forward on a couch in his home on the west coast of Florida, two cans of Budweiser in front of him and Duane Allman’s Dobro on a stand nearby, Dickey Betts hesitates. “I don’t know if you want to write this or not,” he says. “But, shit, my career is over, so I don’t give a shit.”

He starts talking about an incident in 1993, when Betts, along with Bob Dylan, the Band, Stephen Stills and others, had been invited to play at a Bill Clinton inauguration event.
