    Before hitting the road down South, Allman will be making a long stop in New York for his widely anticipated 10-night residency at City Winery, which will kick off this week on November 6th and continue until November 19th.

    Per press release, Allman said, “I love coming to New York and staying a while. It feels natural.”

    This year’s residency at City Winery is all the more anticipated, since his dates in New York sold out last year.

    Following his stay in New York, Allman and band will do a two-night NYE run at the Lucas Theater for The Arts in Savannah, GA. The Lucas Theater is a beautiful, historic landmark; officially opened in 1921. The theater underwent an intensive restoration before it’s grand reopening in 2000.

    Allman will hit Athens, GA on Jan 3-4 at the Georgia Theater; and then hit MS at the Beau Rivage Casino, LA at the Golden Nugget Lake Charles, a two-night run in Birmingham, AL at Iron City, before hitting another Mississippi casino, Horseshoe Tunica Hotel & Casino, and Chattanooga, Tennessee at the Tivoli Theater.

    The band will complete its tour with a four-night run in Macon, GA at the Grand Opera House Jan., 17-21.

    Allman was forced to cancel a number of dates this summer due to a bout with pneumonia. Now recovered, he has also hinted at the possibility of the Allman Brothers Band returning to the road after a two-year hiatus.

  • Peach Music Fest Returns to Montage Mountain, Gregg Allman Cancels

    In just one week, The Peach Music Festival will return to Montage Mountain in Scranton, PA for their fifth annual four-day celebration. The festival is slated for August 11 – 14. Jamband fans from all over the country will head up the mountain for headliners Trey Anastasio Band and The String Cheese Incident. Due to illness, Gregg Allman canceled his tour including his headlining performances at Peach Fest. Allman was scheduled to play his own set  as well as one with SCI known as “The Gregg Allman Incident. At this time it is unclear what the festival plans to do for a replacement.

    Originally an Allman Brother’s Band festival, the spirit of ABB  will live on with Warren Haynes’ appearance in Gov’t Mule as well as “Wake Up with Warren Haynes.” In addition, Les Brers is scheduled to perform at Peach Festival, created by Butch Trucks, founding member of the ABB.

    Festival goers can take advantage of the mountain for camping as well as the on-site waterpark to cool off. The site features three stages including The Pavillion at Montage Mountain, a unique and beautiful venue.

    In addition to the headlining acts, other anticipated performances include The Claypool Lennon Delirium, two sets of moe., Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, Railroad Earth, two sets of Dark Star Orchestra, Anders Osborne and more.

    Late night sets will sprawl across three stages including a special Pink Floyd set from moe. and a two-hour set with Umphrey’s McGee. The Floozies, Cabinet, Flux Capacitor and a Pink Floyd set by Electron will all tear up the after midnight scene.

    New this year, and in line what Front Gate Tickets did for Camp Bisco hosted at Montage Mountain in July, ticket holders were sent chipped wrist bands over the traditional cloth bracelets.
