With Gregg Allman Complete
Rock legend and co-founder of The Allman Brothers Band. Luke toured with / opened for Gregg Allman while playing guitar with Lara Johnston's band across support dates in 2015–2016 — Atlanta Symphony Hall (New Year's Eve 2015, Dec 30–31) and Macon's Grand Opera House (Jan 2016). Luke did not perform in Gregg's band or on stage with Gregg Allman; the role was support-tour guitar with Lara Johnston.
Gregg Allman belongs in this /with/ map as a major support-tour node. The relationship is "toured with / opened for" — Luke played guitar with Lara Johnston's band, which opened for Gregg Allman across multiple dates through 2015 into early 2016. Luke did not perform in Gregg's band or on stage with Gregg Allman directly.
The confirmed run includes Atlanta Symphony Hall on December 30 and 31, 2015, with Lara opening for Gregg Allman. Luke was side stage after Lara's opening set for the New Year's Eve show — the moment when "Midnight Rider" hit at midnight from the wings of a sold-out Atlanta Symphony Hall. The Macon dates followed: Lara Johnston's band appeared on Macon's NBC affiliate on January 14, 2016, then opened for Gregg Allman at the Grand Opera House that weekend.
The broader support thread ran for months across the Lara Johnston / Doobie Brothers touring arc, including the inaugural Laid Back Festival at Jones Beach (2015), which Gregg Allman curated.
