The
Allman Brothers Band has unveiled plans for this year's "March Madness" residency at New York City's Beacon Theater, an annual tradition that the classic
rockers began in 1989.
This year's run of shows is set for March 9-25,
and includes 13 shows. All tickets are scheduled to go on sale Friday (1/6) at 10 a.m. ET.
According to
the group's publicist, the Allmans have sold out more than 160 shows in New York
City since the Beacon residencies began.
The Allmans' lineup for the
upcoming gig will include Gregg Allman (vocals, Keyboards), Butch Trucks (drums,
tympani), Jaimoe (drums), Warren Haynes, (vocals,lead and slide guitar), Derek
Trucks (slide and lead guitar), Oteil Burbridge (bass) and Marc Quinones (congas,
percussion).
Longtime guitarist Dickey Betts parted ways with
the group in 2000, citing "creative differences."
The Allman Brothers
Band released its self-titled debut album in 1969; 2003's "Hittin' the Note"
marked the group's first new studio album in nine years.
Despite sporadic
recorded output in recent years, the band has been a fixture on the summer
amphitheater circuit.
