Westhampton Beach - Celebrate New Year's Eve at WHBPAC with Rock n' Roll Hall of Famer Gregg Allman and his band on Friday, December 31 at 8 p.m. in the Mollie Parnis Auditorium.

As founding member of the iconic Allman Brothers Band, Gregg and his brother ignited the Southern Rock genre. A natural artist gifted with a soulful and distinctive voice as well as brilliant keyboard and guitar expertise, Allman's unique, freewheeling yet musically masterful sound is legendary!

Allman will perform at the PAC just two weeks before the release of his first solo release in 14 years, "Low Country Blues." The new album, produced by T Bone Burnett, is comprised of 12 songs by some of the blues giants whose work has long influenced his own, from Muddy Waters and BB King to Buddy Guy and Magic Sam. "Low Country Blues" features Dr. John on piano, guitarist Doyle Bramhall II, bassist Dennis Crouch and drummer Jay Bellerose.

The album was initially slated for a mid-2010 release, but that plan changed when Allman, who had long battled chronic Hepatitis C, was notified that he was a candidate for a liver transplant. In June 2010, he entered the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida where he successfully underwent the surgery.

An inveterate road warrior, Allman is understandably itching to return to the endless highway. He spent the months following the surgery hitting both the gym and the rehearsal studio, working hard to restore his vitality to its requisite level. Moreover, Allman is justifiably proud of "Low Country Blues" and is eager to get out there to bring these songs to his countless fans.

"When you have a new record it always feels different," Allman said in a press release. "Man, you gotta get out there and move the muscles, you gotta move it and shake it."

Tickets are $145, $120, and $95, and can be purchased three ways: on-line at www.whbpac.org, call the Box Office at 631-288-1500, or visit 76 Main Street, Westhampton Beach(Wednesday through Sunday, 12 noon to 6 p.m. and later on show nights).
