As they’ve done since 2005, the Allman Brothers Band will headline two nights at the fifth annual Wanee Music Festival in Live Oak, Florida, on June 5 and 6th. This year’s Wanee fest is especially noteworthy as it coincides with the band’s yearlong 40th anniversary extravaganza, which includes a 15-night run at New York’s Beacon Theatre. Helping the Eat A Peach rockers celebrate at Wanee are Gov’t Mule, the Doobie Brothers, Toots and the Maytals, the Drive-By Truckers and many more jam-happy artists spread over the fest’s two days. Plus, the Derek Trucks Band will perform a special midnight set on Friday night and the Wailers will perform Exodus in its entirety. Tickets go on sale March 7th.

To J: It’s a picture taken at last year’s Wanee Festival. Bob Weir & Ratdog were on the bill.
I went last year and it was quite a utopian weekend.

Arc Angels are getting back together? Go find their 1992 CD “Arc Angels” this is a fantastic record. I hope they decide to record another one

This just in: Bob Weir is the hidden mind behind the Allman Brothers. He sang all of the songs, and performed all instrumentation. The “Allmans” seen on stage were just a hoax!

I never thought about it before but it makes perfect sense that Bob was/is the dark horse member of the Allman’s. Either that or a Rolling Stone writer wasn’t quite paying attention when he/she wrote this.

Yeah, in an article about the Allmans, why is there NOT a picture of at lest one of the current members? Way to go, Rolling Stone, you’ve done it again!

Richard LeDanier | 4/16/2009, 11:07 pm EST

the Hill Country Revue band will be well worth hearing as I saw them in New York and the main guitar player, Kirk Smithhart is one of the best I have seen.

just me | 5/29/2009, 6:52 am EST

Great story. why do you have a pic of Weir here?

greg | 6/26/2009, 11:51 am EST
