PEACH PICKS: CREAM OF THE CROP 2003: FOUR-DISC SET, OUT IN MAY, FEATURES
CURATED SELECTIONS FROM SIX SUMMER SHOWS
**Dedicated To The Memory Of Gregg Allman**
Fans of the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame group THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND will be excited to hear Peach Picks: Cream Of The Crop 2003, a collection of the best performances culled from six shows in July and August 2003. Set for release May 16 via the band’s Peach Records (Orchard distribution), the collection includes 36 tracks recorded between July 25 and August 10, 2003 in Indianapolis, Pittsburgh, Darien Center, NY, Hartford, Charlotte and Raleigh, with no song repeated.
The ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND formed in 1969 and quickly became one of the most popular live bands in American rock music history, selling millions of records along the way. Hailed for their live improvisation and marathon performances, the group released the At Fillmore East album in 1971, and it’s still hailed as one of the best live albums ever. The group played its last live performance October 28, 2014, at New York’s Beacon Theatre.
The 2003 iteration of the ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND--founding members GREGG ALLMAN, JAIMOE and BUTCH TRUCKS plus WARREN HAYNES, MARC QUINONES, OTEIL BURBRIDGE and DEREK TRUCKS--would prove to be the longest-running line-up and most consistent in its live performances. The band had just released their first album in 10 years, the Grammy-nominated Hittin’ The Note and were in top shape. Guest musicians on four Cream Of The Crop 2003 songs include Susan Tedeschi, Karl Denson and Branford Marsalis.

 A MESSAGE FROM OTEIL BURBRIDGE TO THE ABB FAMILYI want to invite you to Roots Rock Revival, the summer jam band camp founded by Butch Trucks and initiated with myself along with Luther & Cody Dickinson of The North Mississippi Allstars. Now in its 6th year, this unique five-day experience has grown beyond our wildest dreams.
The 2018 line up features an amazing team of host artists including: Jaimoe, Eric Krasno, Johnny Vidacovich, John Medeski, Grahame Lesh, Vaylor Trucks, Berry Duane Oakley, Sister Sparrow and the Dirty Bird Horns, Junior Mack, Hash and Congo (Thievery Bass and Drum), and Brandon “Taz” Niederauer.
Each day offers a curriculum of workshops and seminars, an evening concert, three gourmet meals, and nightly open jams that go on and on. All this happens at the incredible Full Moon Resort nestled in the Catskill Forest Preserve, just a few miles from Woostock (New York).
You don’t need to be an accomplished musician to benefit from the camp and all ages are welcome. There is a wide array of accommodations, from tents to brand new luxury Mountain View Cottages. I encourage anyone who wants to keep the flame that Butch lit burning, to come join the Roots family gathering. This year’s camp is from August 6th through 10th.

Dickey Betts announced today, on his birthday, December 12, that he will return to the road for a select group of dates in 2018.
As reported in an exclusive interview in the Sarasota Herald Tribune, Dickey said “Everywhere I go fans keep saying they want me to get out and play again ... I think the time is right.”
The 2018 concert dates will feature Betts peppering his setlists with songs written by Gregg Allman, whose credits include “Midnight Rider,” “Melissa” and “Whipping Post.” The 23-minute live version of “Whipping Post” from the Allman Brothers Band’s masterful, breakthrough album “At Fillmore East” famously features the dual lead guitar playing of Betts and Duane Allman.
“I think the fans deserve to hear a few of Gregg’s song as well, so I’m pulling out some classics,” Betts said.
“We really gave this a lot of thought as to how and what the show will be,” Spero said. “Even I can’t wait to see it.”
The Dickey Betts Band hitting the road in 2018 will consist of Dickey and son Duane sharing lead guitar duties.
“Dickey is talking to some of the guys he has played with,” Spero said. “We should know in a couple of weeks who will comprise the band.”
