The Brothers DownUnder
Paddington RSL
The Brothers Downunder is an Allman Brothers band experience that replicates a true authentic sound of the Allman Brothers songbook.
Expect Allman Brothers classics including Whipping Post, In Memory of Elizabeth Reed, Jessica, Blue Sky and Statesboro Blues — alongside the extended improvisation and musical exploration that made the band’s live performances legendary. The audience will experience the classic 70’s sounds of the Fillmore East concert featuring the unmistakable twin guitar sounds of Duane Allman and Dickie Betts, and the roaring Hammond organ of Gregg Allman.
Leading an exceptional lineup of Australian blues and roots musicians is acclaimed guitarist and vocalist Geoff Achison, joined by jam-band guitar sensation Ben Chakravorty on guitar and slide, John Tweed Williams on Hammond and keys, and Dario Moconja on bass. The rhythm and percussion team features renowned jazz-blues drummers Rosscoe Clark and Greg Ohlback, David Armstrong on Latin percussion, and Eric Betts on blues harp and harmonica.
