Heres the news you all have been waiting for!! GABBA is pleased to announce more details on GABBAfest 2014. Once again, we will be at The 567 Center for Renewal on Friday and Saturday, September 26 & 27, 2014. Our theme this year is “In the Footsteps of Duane Allman.” With two fine books by Galadrielle Allman and Alan Paul released this year covering much of Duane’s early life and the formation and development of The Allman Brothers Band, it only seemed like the logical choice. Many of the weekend activities we will have lined up are still in the formative stage and will be announced a little later. Opening the weekend festivities on Friday night will be Atlanta, Georgias very own Freddys Finest! This band is comprised of some of Atlantas finest performers, including our old friend, Michael Hurwitz, who played GABBAfest in 2006 with Tony Tyler. Our Friday headliner, which we are very excited about, will be, for the first time in Macon, GA, The Decoys from Muscle Shoals, Alabama! The Decoys feature guitarist/vocalist Scott Boyer of Cowboy fame, bassist David Hood of the legendary Swampers , guitarist Kelvin Holley, keyboardist N.C. Thurman and drummer Mike Dillon. This promises to be a memorable set! On Saturday night, local Macon favorites, Window Plane, will be playing the opening set, and you can bet they will cover some of your favorite Allman Brothers Band classics! If you have been to any of the Skydog birthday concerts in City Central Park, you know what I’m talking about! And finally, our Saturday headliner is GABBA’s “Old Friend,” all the way from Murfreesboro, TN, former Allman Brother, Jack Pearson and The Jack Pearson Band!! This is Jack’s return to GABBAfest, having played for us last at GABBAfest 2007. Jack has been very busy lately, playing many shows in his native Nashville at 3rd and Lindley, but he really generated a buzz when he was chosen to handle guitar duties in the house band as part of the Gregg Allman tribute show in Atlanta at the fabulous Fox Theater this past January. We will have more announcements about Saturday afternoon activities coming real soon! Hope to see y’all in Macon, Georgia for GABBAfest 2014!
