The String Cheese Incident welcomed members of the Allman Brothers Band for a collaborative 2-hour set of music at the Peach Music Festival in Scranton, PA on Friday night, following performances from Les Brers, Moe., The Floozies w/ Jason Hann, and more. What was to be a headlining slot from the “Gregg Allman Incident” was rearranged last minute when the singer/songwriter was hospitalized for serious health issues.

Festival organizers were able to pull other members of the Allman Brothers Band, including founding members Jaimoe and Butch Trucks, along with bassist Oteil Burbridge, percussionist Marc Quiñones, and Jack Pearson, incredible guitarist from an earlier incarnation of the ABB. In addition to these mushroom-official members, the Allman Brothers’ Family incident was joined by vocalist Lamar Williams Jr., the son of bassist Lamar Williams who played in ABB after the death of Berry Oakley, and keyboardist Bruce Katz, known as a regular member of Gregg Allman and Friends, Jaimoe’s Jasssz Band, and a frequent collaborator with ABB. The musicians were all on site to play with Les Brers, a 2016 incarnation of the Allman Brothers that is not to be missed and soon to hit the road.

Bandleader and guitarist of Gregg Allman Band, Scott Sharrard, played the entirety of the set, also lending some vocals, with members of Les Brers rotating in throughout. It was a musical dream for many, to say the least, as they dug deep into ABB classics “Statesboro Blues,” “Ain’t Wastin’ Time No More,” and “Jessica,” along with Bob Dylan‘s “Quinn The Eskimo” and SCI’s own “Outside And Inside.” Enjoy some fan-shot footage from the unbelievable set below!
