Allman Brothers Band Members
Tuesday, July 8th, 2008
Sure, you’ve heard the name before. But do you know the members? Probably not.
The band started with Duane and Gregg Allman, of course. But the band was never destined to be only those two men. Joining the founding brothers were also Dickey Betts as the lead guitarist, Berry Oakley on bass and a duet between Butch Trucks and Jai Johanson on drums.
Since the original band formed, however, the roster has changed a number of times, mainly after break ups and reformations (spurred the first time by the death of Duane Allman). These reformations have seen a total of 20 band members appearing within the last 30 years.
The current band has a few originals - Gregg, Trucks and Johanson - mixed in with a blend of newcomers: Warren Haynes on guitar, Marc Quinones on percussion, Oteil Burbridge on bass and Derek Trucks (the newphew of Butch) on guitar. The current group has been together for close to two decades.
