Now Fast-forward 20 years, the two discovered they were both living in Charleston. They added 4 talented local musicians, Bob Kotarba, lead guitar, Kevin Clark, bass guitar, John McSweeney on Drums and Will Hamm, organ & piano to form the band.
"Jamphibians play Allman Bros"
The two seasoned lead guitarists, Bob Kotabara and David Clark have both been playing Allman Brothers songs since grade school, Expect to hear the harmony guitar sounds so close to Duane & Dickey that you might think they were on stage. The powerful raspy voice of lead singer, Richard Middleton will quickly grab and hold your attention from his first song, "Its Not my Cross to Bear." The solid rhythm section from drummer, John McSweeney and bassist Kevin Clark drive the groove and the haunting Hammond Organ through the spinning Leslie speakers played by organist William Hamm will take you back to 1971 at the Fillmore East.
