From Staff Reports 


WALHALLA, S.C. —  End of the Line, billed as “a tribute to the music and improvisatory spirit of The Allman Brothers Band,” will perform in concert from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. Jan. 29 at the Walhalla Performing Arts Center here.

“This comprehensive, studied, Allman Brothers Band experience is guaranteed to be unlike anything you’ve ever heard or seen before,” an event promotion stated.

“Comprised of six members of national touring veterans from varying musical backgrounds, they provide a comprehensive and musical experience, faithful to the original spirit of The Allman Brothers Band.”

The Allman Brothers Band released most of its big hits over the course of less than a decade, “but in that short amount of time, they made a permanent mark on the landscape of ‘70s rock music,” according to the website wideopencountry.com. 

“Founded in Macon, Georgia, the band -- originally comprised of Dickey Betts, Duane Allman, Gregg Allman, Jaimoe Johanson, Berry Oakley and Butch Trucks -- worked up the ranks to become a strong force in music. 

“The Allman Brothers Band journey was also one marked by tragedy, with the death of founder Duane Allman in a motorcycle crash so early in their career in 1971. The band then lost their original bassist Berry Oakley in another motorcycle crash the next year. However, the band withstood these tragedies, becoming one of the best bands of their time period,” the website noted.
