Michael Allman

Michael Sean Allman (born Michael Hendrick; 3 July 1966) is an American musician and leader of the southern rock Michael Allman Band.

Early life Allman was born to Mary Lynn Sutton and musician Gregg Allman on 3 July 1966 in Daytona Beach, Florida.

Career In the 1990s, Michael began an early incarnation of the Michael Allman Band. He became frustrated at his lack of success, believing his father's influence would quickly further his career. After dissolving the band, Allman worked as bartender, a sound technician, and a DJ.

In 2002, Allman was diagnosed with testicular cancer. He underwent a successful surgery to remove it. He gained a renewed interest in writing and recording music, and subsequently reformed the Michael Allman Band. He released his second album, Blues Travels Fast, in 2020. He planned a tour to support the album, but it was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He then opened a music store in New Port Richey, Florida. He plans to release his third album, Creature of Habit.

While on tour, Allman primarily plays music composed by his father's Allman Brothers Band, while also performing original material.
