be in the high 90's all week. Feels even hotter... maybe that's because of
all the hot stuff happening in the world of Peach! Let's bring you up to
date...
Gregg Allman has been touring, touring, touring and he'll be doing it all
summer and into the Fall. The reviews of these shows with his 9 piece band
have been just outstanding, and we highly recommend that you check the
dates and get one or more on your calendar. After all, as we said, it's
summer folks... and that means... yessss, Road Trip!!
You can find Gregg's full itinerary at:

Gregg will be out West through mid-July, and then, HEADS UP UK/EUROPE,
there's one date in Amsterdam and one in the UK. We can hear the cheers
from here! Gregory and his band head back to the East Coast for shows from
July 31 through September 4, including nine dates with the Doobie Brothers,
then Telluride, CO, Sonoma, CA and New Buffalo, MI in September and
October. So many great shows coming up!
If you're anywhere in the Northeast, come to the first annual Laid Back
Festival in Wantagh, NY on August 29. This festival is curated by Gregg
Allman, and in addition to his own band, you'll get to hear the Doobie
Brothers, Bruce Hornsby and the Noisemakers, Jaimoe’s Jasssz Band, City
of the Sun and more TBA. In addition to all that groovin' music there will
be food from over 20 regional restaurants, wineries and breweries. The

The Peach Music Festival is at Montage Mountain in Scranton, PA and
features multiple stages, camping and even a full water park! You gotta
make that scene, people...!
And if you're in the neighborhood for The Peach, you're perfectly
positioned to head over to Big Indian, NY in the beautiful Catskill
Mountains for an amazing four days with Butch Trucks, Oteil Burbridge,
Luther & Cody Dickinson, Bill Evans and Craig Keil at The Roots Rock
Revival music camp. Stories, camp fires, jam sessions, master classes,
open rehearsals, Q&A sessions, and so much more. It's been called "the
experience of a lifetime" by past attendees. It's not just for
musicians... if you're a fan, you will have a blast. If you do happen to
be a musician, what a rare opportunity to learn from and jam with your
musical heroes! Watch the video to hear from past "campers," and read all
