Biography:

IDLEWILD SOUTH, The Allman Brothers Band Tribute, was co-founded by keyboardist and vocalist Don
Eason, a veteran musician whose initial influence of The Allman Brothers Band's live performance goes back to
his first concert experience of the band on Easter Weekend of 1970, at The Winter's End Concert in Bithlo, Florida.
A duo of drummers, John Flowers, Ricky Grubbs, and percussionist John Martin provides the foundation with bassist
Tim Smith rounding out the rhythm section. Slide Guitarist Dave George and Lead Guitarist/ Vocalist Tommy Hartley
bring forth the dual guitar harmonies and searing guitar leads Duane Allman and Dickie Betts pioneered in the late
1960's.
In the tradition of The Allman Brothers Band, IDLEWILD SOUTH's live shows can exceed a staggering 3 1/2 to 4 hours
non- stop in length. The set lists are different every night, drawing from The Allman Brothers Bands self-titled debut
album, 2nd album Idlewild South, Live At Fillmore East, Eat A Peach, and Brothers and Sisters, all recorded between
1969 and 1974. A few select songs from their albums between 1989 and 2000 are also included.
