The Allman Brothers Band Bio
Brothers Duane and Gregg Allman, along with Dickey Betts, Berry Oakley, Butch Trucks, and Jai Johanny "Jaimoe" Johanson, founded the American rock group The Allman Brothers Band in 1969, in Jacksonville, Florida. Later based in Macon, Georgia, they combined elements of blues, jazz, and country music, creating a diverse genre. Live performances by their band includes jam band-style improvisation and instrumentals. Their 1971 live release “At Fillmore East” was a commercial and artistic breakthrough after their first two studio albums, “The Allman Brothers Band” (1969) and “Idlewild South” (1970) stalled in sales. Moreover, it is regarded as one of the best live albums ever made and includes extended versions of their hit songs "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" and "Whipping Post."
