Keeping the Music Alive… Dreams!
Let this serve as an all-too-brief introduction to a group you’re going to hearing a lot more about in the upcoming months: Dreams. If you’re searching online, try The Dreams Band and Dreams Band Live.
Not on your radar yet? They will be. This outstanding collection of musicians plays the music of The Allman Brothers Band — and more. They are intimately connected to that legendary musical juggernaut and its various iterations.
Bruce Katz, who plays Hammond B3, organ, and piano, played in The Gregg Allman Band, Butch Trucks and the Freight Train Band, and Les Brers.
Guitarist and singer Junior Mack has fronted Jaimoe’s Jasssz Band for years. He has performed with the Allman Brothers.
In addition to his duties as associate editor of Guitar World, Andy Aledort spent a dozen years touring with Dickey Betts and Great Southern. He has also been a part of the amazing Jimi Hendrix Experience Tribute tours.
Bassist David Stoltz met Jaimoe and Dickey Betts when he auditioned for ABB. He played with Betts for four years and has been with Jaimoe’s Jassz Band for years.
Lamar Williams, Jr., sang with Les Brers and is the son of former ABB and Sea Level bassist Lamar Williams, Sr. He has also performed with the Allman Brothers.
Garrett Dawson was a percussion with the Freight Train Band, earning high praise from Butch. He is also the member of an outstanding new band called Bird Tribe.
Tad Isch had his own ABB tribute band, Hotlanta, in Philadelphia. After attending Butch Trucks’s Music Camp, Butch invited him to tour and play in the Freight Train Band, thus his designation as the only “other other drummer” than Jaimoe he toured and played with.
Drummer Mark Greenberg is also an alum of Dickey Betts and Great Southern.
Dreams arose as a one-time performance put together by Tad Isch and Legare Robertson. The dream became reality, and she is the band’s manager. She also manages The Bruce Katz Band and Founding Music.
Pull myself together, put on a new face.
Climb down off the hilltop, baby, get back in the race.
