The Royal Southern Brotherhood!



The Royal Southern Brotherhood. http://royalsouthernbrotherhood.com

This photo was taken at the Arts Center in Carrboro, North Carolina. I literally flew in from Key West and drove an hour to see this gig with little time to spare. Thankfully there were no airline delays..

The photo above features most of the band and "Jumpin'" Johnny Sansone on stage. The players are Mike Zito, Devon Allman, Cyril Neville, Charlie Wooten, and Yonrico Scott. I would call this a bit of a supergroup from all their backgrounds in the Neville Brothers, The Meters, Allman Brothers, Derek Trucks Band, on and on. They took time away from their normal bands and gigs to form this band to tour behind a cd release. It is great stuff and you should go see them! The live performance just rocks.

It was a great night. I enjoyed the original music and the covers this band played. It was an outstanding show! Not to mention getting to talk to all of them after the show for quite a while. Did I mention I talked to them before the show? Yeah I had a good time. 'Nuff said.
