An original Allman brother, his skill and passion on the drums helped make the ABB what it was. When they finally closed down Butch just had to keep going. And just one band was not enough.

Anders Osborne is....

New Orleans own poet laureate/tune-smith, vocalist supreme, guitarist exemplar, leader of the band, and the real deal in a musical landscape filled with mediocre artists. Nashville's City Winery was the site of his 2016 tour opener and his performance there bodes well for his tour.

Doug Seegers is the real deal in an industry seemingly taken over by cookie cutter music. Where are the Johnny Cash's and the Waylon Jenning's in today's music?
