The Allman Brothers Band Tickets – The Big 4-0
Article by Alexa Evans
The Allman Brothers can’t lie about their age anymore. The iconic band is celebrating 40 years this year and these southern rockers are not showing signs of aging in the least bit. They plan to start the birthday celebrations big by heading to New York City’s recently renovated Beacon Theatre for a 10 gig marathon that is scheduled to start on March 9. The group is currently comprised of Gregg Allman, Butch and Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes, Jaimoe, Oteil Burbridge and Marc Quinones. Fans are only too thrilled to turn out in support of the band, since they had to cancel their Beacon Theatre residency last year when frontman Allman took time away from touring to focus on treatment for Hepatitis C. The Allman Brothers Band has played at the historic venue an impressive 175 times since 1989. Guest artists for the concerts have yet to be announced, but check back on http://www.stubhub.com/allman-brothers-tickets for further ticket information.
