If you needed something else to be thankful for, Eddie's Attic had you covered on Saturday, November 20, 2021.
Michael Allman, son of the iconic Gregg Allman, joined SOUTH ROCK and together they brought a thanksgiving musical feast fit for a Midnight Rider!
Opening the evening with “Statesboro Blues”, the sold out, standing-room-only crowd didn’t hesitate to show their appreciation for the voice coming from the stage. It may not be Gregg’s voice, but it’s his essence! Every song was like a time machine filled with memories that don’t let go. The set list included Allman Brothers hits such as “Blue Sky”, Midnight Rider”, “Melissa”, “Southbound”, “Ramblin Man”, “One Way Out”, “Whipping Post”, and ending with “Soulshine”. Such classics performed live by the man carrying the legacy of his iconic father! Adding another special touch was the shirt Michael was wearing that had an image of his uncle Duane. This night, 11/20/21, would have been Duane’s 75th birthday. Happy Heavenly birthday, Duane!
