FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
GREGG ALLMAN CANCELS SOME LATE SUMMER TOUR DATES
BENEFIT CONCERT RAISES OVER OVER A QUARTER MILLION DOLLARS FOR HEP C AWARENESS
Upon his doctor's orders, Gregg Allman is unfortunately being forced to cancel his August 26 through September 15 concert dates. Some of these dates will be rescheduled for later in the year. Allman had to cancel four dates at the end of his four week European tour in June due to an upper respiratory condition. His doctor hoped that with rest, he'd get better, but unfortunately the issue has persisted. Treatment is going to involve several days of hospitalization and 4 - 6 weeks of bed rest at home. Allman continues to recover from his successful liver transplant and expects to return to touring in support of his highly acclaimed "Low Country Blues" album in the late fall.
On the eve of World Hepatitis Day, Allman, a spokesperson for the Tune in to Hep-C campaign, hosted a benefit at the Beacon Theatre on July 27. The event starred The Allman Brothers Band and featured fellow spokesperson Natalie Cole as well as special guests Phil Lesh (Grateful Dead), David Crosby and Graham Nash. They all performed on the finale joined by ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons, for a rousing rendition of "Will the Circle Be Unbroken," as the entire show was simulcast on Sirius/XM Radio. The event raised over a quarter million dollars to support the American Liver Foundation and the National Viral Hepatitis Roundtable.

Jaimoe's Jasssz Band
As a founding member of the one and only Allman Brothers Band and in his own storied solo career, Allman has long been a gifted natural interpreter of the blues, his soulful and distinctive voice one of the defining sounds in the history of American music. At the Sherman Theater this fall, he brings tunes from his new, critically acclaimed album Low Country Blues to Main Street in Stroudsburg.
