closeWalnut Creek Amphitheatre has changed names a couple of times over the years, but there has been one constant throughout its history: venerable Southern rockers The Allman Brothers. The band is the only act to have played the big shed in Raleigh every year since it opened in 1991.
And the streak will continue for at least one more season. The Allman Brothers will play Oct. 3 at Walnut Creek with Phil Lesh & Friends, according to Pollstar.
That would extend the Allmans' Walnut Creek streak to 18 straight seasons. They're like Walnut Creek's version of Lou Gehrig.
