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.
