Anthology (Allman Brothers Tribute)

This is a band comprised of seasoned musicians who have a passion for the legacy of the Allman Brothers, but what sets this ensemble apart from any others is their personal connection to the Allman Brothers – Gregg Allman in particular. Two of the Anthology band members (vocalist Danny Liston and bassist Dickie Steltenpohl) played in the band Mama’s Pride, who were signed to Atlantic Records by the legendary Ahmet Ertegun.  At one point in their career they crossed paths with Gregg Allman. He was so impressed with their understanding of the feel for his music, that he asked them to be his band. So playing the music of the Allman Brothers became part of their DNA. 

Other members of the band include Tom Denman – keyboards, Terry Midkiff – guitar,  (who also plays with Amanda Fish), Matt Rowland on guitar (who also plays with the Catapults), Rob Lee – drums (Rob toured for years with Mike Zito and is a Nashville session player), and Joe Meyer drums ( who formerly toured with Nikki Hill)

It’s Allman Brothers the way they would play it; not note for note, but with the kind of passion that ABB music evokes.
