8:00 p.m. Singer-Songwriter Series: The Music of Gregg Allman NEW!

The legendary singer, songwriter, keyboardist (sometimes guitarist) and co-founder of The Allman Brothers Band is our featured singer-songwriter this coming week. He was a musical pioneer who combined traditional blues with rock, jazz and country to help give the Allman Brothers Band their amazing and unique sound. Gregg Allman became the heart and soul of the band after his brother died, and he did himself and Duane proud.

Before, in between and after, we have our big, wide Open Stream courtesy of The Music Mermaid. As you know, she has impeccable taste in music.
