The Peach Music Festival is coming up, and with an already spectacular lineup, they’ve just made another huge announcement. The lineup for the Peach tribute to Gregg Allman and Butch Trucks will feature friends and family from the ABB lineage, paying homage to Allman Brothers Band and Peach Fest founders during what has undoubtedly been a difficult year of losses. The master and former ABB keyboardist Chuck Leavell (currently with The Rolling Stones) will lead the tribute as musical director, alongside ABB members Jaimoe, Oteil Burbridge, and Marc Quinones. Butch’s nephew and Widespread Panic drummer Duane Trucks, Gregg’s son guitarist Devon Allman, former ABB guitarist Jack Pearson, rising guitarist and vocalist Marcus King, keyboardist Bruce Katz (who has toured with both Butch and Gregg’s bands, and Les Brers) Lamar Williams Jr., son of former bassist Lamar Williams and vocalist of Les Brers, guitarist Pat Bergeson of Les Brers, musical director of the Gregg Allman Band and guitarist Scott Sharrard, GAB keyboardist Pete Levin, Berry Oakley Jr., son of original ABB bassist Berry Oakley, and Butch Trucks’s son and guitarist Vaylor Trucks, will all participate in this monstrous tribute to the Allman Brothers Band.
Chuck Leavell expresses in a press release, “This is a golden opportunity for those of us that were close to Gregg and Butch to pay homage to them and celebrate their lives and their many contributions to music. I’m proud to be a part of it and can’t wait to share the stage with all the great players that will be a part of it.”
This is a tearjerking lineup that should not be missed. More special guests to be announced soon.
The Peach daily lineup has just been announced, including single day tickets going on sale this Friday at Noon here.
