A Brother's Revival
A Brothers Revival, a tribute to The Allman Brothers Band features former Allman Brothers Band member, David “Rook” Goldflies and the lead singer (Gregg's songs) in Dickey Betts Great Southern, Mike Kach.

Rook’s stage presence is awe-inspiring, having performed for massive crowds in arenas like Soldiers Field and Mile High Stadium. His talent has graced network television shows, including Saturday Night Live, Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert, and Solid Gold. Rook’s exceptional bass playing earned him a Grammy nomination for the Allman Brothers’ instrumental “Pegasus” from the Gold-certified Billboard Top 10 album, Enlightened Rogues. Fans recognize Rook as one of the Allman Brothers’ most dynamic bassists, channeling the aggressive style of the original member, Berry Oakley.
Rook sets the stage for an unforgettable experience with A Brother’s Revival, the most authentic tribute to The Allman Brother's Band.
Why the nickname “Rook?”
During an audition in Cincinnati, Ohio, David showcased his bass skills to Dickey Betts and Great Southern. Impressed, Dickey swiftly offered him the gig, exclaiming, “You’ve got it! Let’s go!” David had to inform his current band of his departure, and Dickey granted him a two-day window to make it to Nashville for rehearsals. As David approached the tour bus, he encountered (Dangerous) Dan Toler, who warmly greeted him, saying, “Welcome aboard, Rookie. The Rook!” To this day, fans and friends recall those times and refer to David by his ABB nickname, The Rook.
As if these accomplishments weren’t enough, Rook was the bassist on the mega-hit single “Black Betty,” famously performed by Ram Jam but recorded by Starstruck Band, of which Rook was a member. With this impressive musical pedigree, Rook sets the stage for an unforgettable experience with A Brother’s Revival.
