For those into their Southern Blues and Rock, Gregg Allman, founding member and leader of the legendary Allman Brothers Band and a solo musician in his own right will be appearing alongside his special guests Gov’t Mule and Devon Allman. The Allman Brothers Band NEVER toured Australia so this will be the first time on our shores for Gregg Allman. Fronted by visionary singer-guitarist Warren Haynes, member of The Allman Brothers since 1989, Gov’t Mule returns to Australia for the first time in 14 years. We last saw Warren Haynes three years ago when he came with his band for a series of blistering sideshows. Devon Allman, son of Gregg Allman, who some of you may have seen earlier this year as the lead guitarist of Blues/Jam band Royal Southern Brotherhood and who has also appeared in The Allman Brothers Band over the years, will be fronting his own band this time around. With three members of The Allman Brothers Band in the wings, this incendiary line-up will be tearing up the stage in Sydney and Melbourne and giving Allman Brothers fans a dose of the famed Allman Brothers Southern Rock/ Jam sound.
