    About The Event
    On Friday, January 10, 2014, music stars and friends joined together for “All My Friends: Celebrating the Songs & Voice of Gregg Allman”, a special concert in honor of the legendary singer, songwriter and musician. The star-studded concert took place at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia and featured once-in-a-lifetime collaborations by friends and admirers coming together to pay tribute to Allman’s music. The lineup included GRAMMY, CMA, ACM, Americana, W. C. Handy Blues and Dove Award nominated and winning musicians. An all-star band led by GRAMMY Award-winner Don Was served as the musical director.
    About Gregg Allman
    Gregg Allman is one of the most acclaimed and beloved icons in rock and roll history. A founding member of the Allman Brothers Band and successful solo artist in his own right, Allman possesses a voice that has resonated through four decades; a voice that once heard is never forgotten. A legendary songwriter who expresses visceral human feelings in words and music-joy and despair, dreams and nightmares, loneliness and love-Gregg Allman writes from the heart and touches the soul. At the 54thAnnual Grammy Awards in 2012, the ABB was honored with the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award, in part a celebration of the 40th anniversary of the group’s seminal double album Eat a Peach. Gregg himself, inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1995, was also nominated for Best Blues Album of 2011 for his first solo record in 13 years, the captivating Low Country Blues.

    Cried so hard hearing this version. Generations dying, irretrievably lost. I could never explain what the Allman Brothers meant to us in the 70's. It was so pure, perfect, soul-stirring. Where did this music come from? I hope it lasts as long as the earth. And what a gentleman--that Jackson Browne--so smart and elegant to step in.

      We felt the same way about the Allman Brothers Band in the 70's. When Duane Allman what a heart break. I believe that must've been so incredibly hard. Their music was so unique no others were like them, the blues, the great song writing, arranging and composition to me is unique. Greatly blessed these songs were completed for us to enjoy, forever and pass down to our children.

    Gregg Allman: “The first thing comes to my mind is I said to myself, ‘Gregory, do not cry. Do not start crying.’ If you watch the part with me and Jackson [Browne], we did ‘These Days’ and ‘Melissa’ and if you look at him during the second verse of ‘Melissa’ he was singing and he had a huge crocodile tear out of the outside of his eye and I was thinking, ‘Don’t start, you’ll get me goin’!’ I just happened to look down at the first three or four rows, they were all crying.

    It really doesn’t get much better than this, folks. Greg was a fine Southern gentleman. How wonderful is their respect and friendship. And love.

    The most quintessential homage to the greatest music era ever, no gimmicks , no swearing , no threats just proper music played by proper blokes.
    Hats off to the great Jack Pearson.
