🎸 “The Brothers Reignite Allman Brothers Spirit at Madison Square Garden”
The Brothers Reignite Allman Brothers Spirit at Madison Square Garden
In April 2025, The Brothers—a supergroup comprising former Allman Brothers Band members and close collaborators—reunited for two electrifying nights at New York City’s Madison Square Garden. This marked their first performance since their 2020 tribute concert, celebrating the Allman Brothers Band’s 50th anniversary. The reunion was inspired by the success of the SOULSHINE hurricane relief benefit in November 2024, where Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks delivered a powerful rendition of “Whipping Post,” rekindling the desire to perform together once more .
