Allman Brothers Band fans need no introduction to Chuck - just say "original Jessica piano solo" and you'll hear his name spoken with reverence.
Chuck continues to have an amazing career, notably as the music director for the Rolling Stones, and playing with people who are also ABB fan favorites like Eric Clapton.
This Saturday, July 18, there will be a rare opportunity for 20 fans to participate in a one hour interactive, live online Masterclass with Chuck. He will answer those burning questions and share tales of the road and the studio, as well as share his experience as farmer and environmentalist. Open to musicians and fans alike.
Details at the event site: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/masterclass-with-chuck-leavell-of-the-rolling-stones-tickets-110341287762. Space is limited to 20 participants so don't delay.

Surviving members of the ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND came together Tuesday, March 10 as THE BROTHERS for an acclaimed, sold-out, one-night-only show celebrating 50 years of the iconic American band’s legacy at Madison Square Garden in New York City. In partnership with nugs.net--the leading live music platform for concert recordings and live streams—the “50th Anniversary Celebration of The Allman Brothers Band" is now available for purchase on nugs.tv in HD or stunning 4K, and will be rebroadcast beginning this Friday (July 3) at 8PM EST – Sunday (July 5) Those who purchase the webcast will also be able to enjoy the show on demand for 48 hours upon first viewing. Both the video and audio have been re-edited and remixed, respectively to give home viewers the best seat in the house for this historic concert. Experience the music of
The Allman Brothers in an entirely new way. Now available in Sony’s 360 Reality Audio via nugs.net Hi-Fi. Listen to The Brothers’ nearly four-hour show as if you were there.
The Brothers consists of founding Allman Brothers Band (ABB) drummer Jaimoe as well as longtime ABB guitarists Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks, bassist Oteil Burbridge and percussionist Marc Quinones, along with Widespread Panic drummer Duane Trucks and keyboardist Reese Wynans. Former ABB keyboardist (and longtime touring member of the Rolling Stones) Chuck Leavell joined as a special guest for many of the jams he helped create with the ABB.
The March 10 show is the last major concert to have taken place in New York before being shut down because of Covid-19. In a post-show interview with the Wall Street Journal, Jaimoe said, “It just felt like no BS, and all about music and love…I wanted to play music with my brothers. Everyone else is paying homage to the Allman Brothers music—and some of us are still here.” American Songwriter, (which described the show as a “massive success”) talked to Warren Haynes who said, “It was a very surreal night I think for all of us. It would have been under normal circumstances. But as we got closer and closer to show date, we were all wondering if we’re going to be allowed to play. We barely got in under the wire and then the next couple of days, they basically starting shutting down everything and canceling shows everywhere. It’s very bizarre that we turned out to be the last big show like that…I’m really glad that we were able to celebrate the 50th. When (original band member) Jaimoe
called everybody and said that he thought that we should do something for the 50th, we all instantly agreed and thought, yeah, let’s do this. In a lot of ways, it was a show that we had talked about doing as the Allman Brothers
Band but it never came to fruition. From the first moment of rehearsal it felt wonderful, and it just got better and better. I was very proud of everyone. From a musical standpoint, the band sounded wonderful. But there was so
much more at play.”

Warren “Skoots” Lyndon, youngest brother of Allman Brothers Band original tour manager/photographer Twiggs Lyndon, died June 1, 2020 in his hometown of Macon, GA.
Skoots worked the road on numerous tours over the years for The Allman Brothers Band, as well as The Dixie Dregs, Steve Morse and Deep Purple.
He was well-loved by the entire Allman Brothers Band Family.
His untimely passing brings the ABB another dose of great sadness; he will be missed by all who knew him and loved him.
Skoots, say hello to all the guys up there for us; let them know we will all be there soon enough.
The Allman Brothers Band, Family & Crew
