The new shows, which all take place in the Northeast, kick off on October 12 in Brooklyn, New York, and run through an October 16 concert in Westbury, New York.

Les Brers also have four previously reported gigs in New England next month. The band’s most recent performance was August 11 at the Allman Brothers-curated Peach Music Festival in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The group’s members joined forces with String Cheese Incident at the event to create a one-off collective dubbed Allman Brothers Family Incident.

The Les Brers lineup features founding Allman Brothers Band drummers Butch Trucks and Jaimoe, longtime Allmans bassist Oteil Burbridge and percussionist Marc Quinones, and ex-Allman Brothers guitarist Jack Pierson. The group also includes frequent ABB guest keyboardist Bruce Katz, veteran guitarist Pat Bergeson and singer Lamar Williams Jr., whose late father played bass with the Allmans during the 1970s.

The band takes its name from “Les Brers in A Minor,” a song featured on The Allmans Brothers’ classic 1972 album, Eat a Peach.
