The Allmond Brothers features Oakland slide guitar star Jules Leyhe, Josh Brough (Poor Man's Whiskey) and Jimmy Leslie (Guitar Player, Spirit Hustler) authentically recreating a classic evening with the Allman Brothers Band. The Allmond Brothers do justice to the landmark live album, At Fillmore East, as well as the ABB’s greatest songs including “Midnight Rider” and “Ramblin’ Man” plus “Melissa,” “Blue Sky” and more.
Leyhe wields "The best slide licks since Derek Trucks, maybe even Duane Allman" according to Premier Guitar. He regularly plays the National Anthem at the Oakland Colosseum and Oracle Park for events including major league baseball games. Brough has led Poor Man’s Whiskey on tours across America, and locally packed the Great American Music Hall. Brough is incredibly convincing as Gregg Alllman on vocals and keyboards. Jimmy Leslie is Frets Editor at Guitar Player and veteran of the all-star Allman Family Revival shows at the Fillmore. Leslie plays the Dickey Betts role with a fiery Southern flare on vocals and guitar, aka Trickey Frets. He will pay respect to recently deceased co-founder of the Allman Brothers Band, along with all of the other Allmonds on this occasion. Eric Wood of the East Bay’s Foreigner & Journey tribute Forejour plays drums and adds a remarkable third vocal. Brian Fox, former Editor-in-Chief of Bass Player, expertly handles the low end.
The Allmond Brothers have wowed audiences at major festivals including the High Sierra Music Festival, inspiring Dennis Cook of Jambase to say:
“A tribute band is a tricky thing. Genuflect too much and you’re a boring recreation, stray too far off the blueprint and folks won’t recognize the source material. This Allman Brothers homage gets the balance just right.”
From dueling guitars, to riveting vocal harmonies and a driving rhythm section, the Allmond Brothers is one of the most authentic tribute acts in the country celebratingone of the greatest bands of all time. Truly a show not to miss!
