LES BRERS IN CONCERT:
If any group is qualified to carry on the hallowed legacy of The Allman Brothers Band, it's Southern rockers Les Brers. Led by original ABB drummer Butch Trucks, Les Brers takes the classic sounds of the late great band and adds some unique new twists to keep things fresh. Ticket buyers will feel like they're catching up with an old friend as they hear all the jazz solos, bluesy slide work, and twangy vocals that made the Allman Brothers Band so popular. Guitarists Pat Bergeson and Jack Pearson fuel the band's marathon jams with lightning-fast licks and fluid melodicism to spare, while vocalist Lamar Williams Jr. puts a soulful spin on ABB classics like "Blue Sky," "Ramblin' Man," and "Ain't Wasting Time No More." The end result is so much more than just a tribute show – it's an expansion on The Allman Brother's legend that devotees shouldn't pass up.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Butch Trucks made a name for himself in the '70s as one half of the dynamic rhythmic duo that powered The Allman Brothers Band. The group's unique fusion of rock, blues, jazz, and country came to define the sound of Southern rock, and today albums like At Fillmore East (1971), Eat a Peach (1972), and Brothers and Sisters (1973) stand as classics of the genre. Years of substance abuse and the deaths of several key members tore the band apart in 1976, but they reformed several times over the next two decades and truly rekindled the spark in 1999 when Butch's nephew Derek Trucks joined on slide guitar. The '00s saw some spectacular highlights for the band, but their run ultimately came to an end in 2014 when they parted ways to focus on new projects. Trucks formed Les Brers the following year with second ABB drummer Jaimoe and other former members Marc Quinones (percussion), Oteil Burbridge (bass), and Jack Person (guitar). Like other offshoots of the Allman Brother's family tree, Les Brers builds on the group's familiar sound with a fresh take on the extended jams that generations of listeners have come to know and love. Fans looking to experience the amazing and untamed sound of Southern rock at its best won't want to miss Les Brers on tour.
Never a bad word/review about these players/musicians Will be there every time!!! Never disappointed. Spread the word for everyone to get out and see them.... If you love The ABB .. this is as close as you'll get !!
Great show. Great venue. Looking forward to the next show
Band was great. Really enjoyed the show. The band looked like they were enjoying themselves. Place was only about 2/3 full. Sound in center loge (should've been great seats!) was awful -- guitars not clear, bass too low. Pat Bergeson never faces the audience, especially when doing a solo -- he turns and faces Jack Pearson and plays to him, not the audience. it's a little distracting.
Have been to many many allman brothers shows since the early seventys this was probably the best show ever . Very tight all breaks were spot on all my personal favorite songs .
After having seen the Allman Bros a leat a dozen times over the years...was thrilled to see this version, without Gregg...although wish he were there....thought Warren Haynes was going to be surprise guest...but NO....anyway, a show that featured Jack Pearson...and he did it up right....some roaring solos...like I've never witnessed...Katz on keyboards was a shining light also...and of course Butch & Jaimoe with the non stop beat...unreal....great crowd and venue...sound was immaculate...glad I drove 4 hrs for it!!
