Allman is on a roll and there's no sign of him letting up in 2015. Fresh off a lauded January tour that included a powerful hometown show and two sold-out performances at Nashville's legendary Ryman Auditorium, Allman has announced a spring tour that will take him from Northfield, Ohio in March to Austin, Texas in May, with stops along the way including the Wanee Festival, the Stagecoach Festival in Indio and two shows at Chicago's House of Blues. Allman was also nominated for a Best American Roots Grammy Award for his performance with Taj Mahal of "Statesboro Blues" on Allman's 2014 All My Friends release on Rounder Records.

Allman is one of rock's most acclaimed and beloved stars, possessing a distinctively soulful voice and a singular songwriting ability that resonates through a musical career spanning nearly half a century. Allman, along with the Allman Brothers Band, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995. At the 54th Annual Grammy Awards in 2012, the group was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award. That same year, Allman's critically acclaimed tell-all memoir, My Cross to Bear, spent several weeks as a New York Times Bestseller.

In 2011, Rounder Records released Allman's first solo record in 14 years-the celebrated, Grammy nominated Low Country Blues produced by T Bone Burnett. Last year, Rounder released the critically acclaimed All My Friends: Celebrating the Songs & Voice of Gregg Allman, the CD/DVD/Blu-Ray that captured a multi-generational assortment of musicians from the worlds of rock, blues and country who gathered at Atlanta's historic Fox Theatre for a once-in-a-lifetime, all-star performance paying tribute to Allman's life and music.

Allman's touring band, which has been receiving rave reviews from around the world, features Scott Sharrard on guitar, Peter Levin on keyboard, Steve Potts on drums, Marc Quinones on percussion, Ron Johnson on bass and Jay Collins, Art Edmaiston and Marc Franklin on horns
