Gregg Allman Reschedules NYC Winery Gigs

Allman was scheduled to launch his extended stay at the venue with two shows planned for Nov. 6-7, but a vocal injury forced him to cancel the shows although his band played in his place.  According to City Winery’s website, the Gregg Allman Band, sans its star, will play free shows at City Winery tonight (Nov. 9) and Thursday evening (Nov. 10).

Meanwhile, new dates have already been set for Allman’s Winery run – July 2-3, 5-6, 9-10, 12-13 & 16-17.  Tickets purchased for the original dates will be honored.  Refunds are available

From GreggAllman.com:

“This is the hardest thing I’ve had to do in a long, long, time.  I’ve been on the road for 45 years because I live to play music with my friends for my fans. As much as I hate it, it’s time for me to take some real time off to heal.

“Not making a show is a really hard decision for me because I want to play so bad, but it’s also hard on my partners and fans who make plans to be with me.  I never want to put anybody in a bad spot.  I’m so grateful for the people that I work with and for the fans that come to my shows and I want to be at my best for all of them.  That means I’m going to have to wait until I’m feeling really good, not just good enough like I have been.  Good enough isn’t working for us all.”
