The Suffolk welcomes back Southern Rockfest, celebrating the music of The Allman Brothers Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd, on Friday, May 3, at 8 p.m.
Writing another chapter in the legacy of The Allman Brothers Band, A Brother’s Revival, led by former Allman Brothers bassist David “Rook” Goldflies joined by Chris Anderson (former member of The Outlaws) and Mike Kach (former member of Dickey Betts and Great Southern) — brings the music of The Allman Brothers to life every time they step on stage.

These brothers perform the songs with authentic passion while paying homage to the improvisational spirit of the original band, pushing the songs to new heights.
Also on the Rockfest lineup is special guest Classic Skynyrd Live. This New Jersey-based band performs all of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s fan favorites from “Free Bird,” “Simple Man,” “Sweet Home Alabama,” “Gimme Three Steps” and many more.
