The principal architects of Southern Rock, the Allman Brothers have taken to the road once again, to the delight of fans across the country. The group has formed a jamming tradition that they’ve carried on through major obstacles, like the deaths of key players. Amassing 11 gold and five platinum albums over their career, the band plays on.

Recent tickets released for the 13 shows at New York’s Beacon Theatre continue the band’s yearly tradition of setting up shop at the historic venue. The tradition began in 1989, and the Allman Brothers have played there over 160 times. Starting in March, the 2,900 seat hall is all theirs, to rock out as they see fit.

Twenty-five additional dates have been tentatively announced, taking the group across the nation starting in August. The only other secured dates will be when they appear at their self-started Wanee Festival in Live Oak, Florida in April.

The Allman Brothers release, “At Filmore East” of 1971 became a huge hit, mixing jazz, blues, hard rock and classical music. The band was the last act to play before the doors to the venue closed that year, but they made the best of it, playing until the sun came up.

Two members of the band died in motorcycle accidents one year apart, and within three blocks of each other. Duane Allman, the front man, collided with a truck. Which is somewhat ironic as original Brother Butch Trucks and his nephew Derek Trucks play with the band today.

In 2003, Duane Allman was listed by Rolling Stone as the No. 2 greatest guitarist of all time. Derek Trucks was the youngest on the list, and two other members of the band, Warren Haynes and Dickey Betts were also named.

The two week stand at the Beacon Theatre begins March 22, continuing through the first week of April. Tickets are now on sale.
