Sounds Of The Allman Brothers To Echo Through The Trees At Mendham’s Music in the Woods

MENDHAM, NJ — Allman Brothers Band fans will be ‘ramblin’ through the woods this weekend, because a local tribute band is performing a concert in Mendham’s forest.

On Sunday, July 13, The Mountain Band Jam will be playing the sounds of the Allman Brothers to echo through the trees and forestry.

The concert is from 4 to 6 p.m. and is located at the Schiff Nature Preserve off of Pleasant Valley Road in Mendham. Attendees should arrive at the preserve a half-hour before the show to account for the 30-minute hike to the venue.

“Mountain Jam Band (MJB) is an Allman Brothers tribute band comprised of some of the most talented musicians (and good friends) in the tri-state area,” a statement read. “MJB has become known for recreating the live Allman Brothers experience through signature guitar licks mixed with extended improvisational jams, and what better place to experience the music than in the beautiful woods of Schiff Nature Preserve.”

The Allman Brothers Band is an American rock band founded in Florida in 1969. Founders included brothers Duane Allman and Gregg Allman, as well as Dickey Betts, Berry Oakley, Butch Trucks, and Jai Johanny "Jaimoe" Johanson.

The group is well known for its southern-rooted, jam band style of rock and roll. The Grammy award-winning band is known for hits including “Jessica,” “Blue Sky,” “Ramblin’ Man,” and several other rock classics.

The concert is part of the Schiff Nature Preserve’s Music in the Woods series. Attendees are encouraged to BYOB, bring blankets and pillows, snacks, and can even take along a leashed furry friend to enjoy the show with.

Tickets are limited, so be sure to get one soon online here.
