The Allman Goldflies Band stems from the long-term friendship of two musicians, Gary Allman and David Goldflies.

Gary Allman’s music contains stories from all of his life. His recent songs portray Gary’s journey through the United States Criminal Justice system, his pain and loss, and finally...his redemption. The songs, many of which were written in prison, have formed the core of the original music of the Allman Goldflies Band.

David Goldflies, a lifelong musician, distinguished himself at an early age with multiple tours and albums with the Allman Brothers Band. David’s visceral understanding of the emotion and drive of authentic southern rock and blues can be heard in both his playing and his original music.

The band also includes drummer Shawn “Shack” Shackelford and guitarists Joe Weiss and Matt Siegel.

The Allman Goldflies Band is renewing southern music with honest, hard driving, inspired performances.

After touring with Butch Trucks and the Freight Train, Melody Trucks immersed herself in the increasingly rich and diverse music scene in Jacksonville, Florida. The Melody Trucks Band came together in early 2017 as she encountered each member within this extended musical family. Their individual styles and influences run the entire span of every music genre: rock, blues, jazz, funk, classical, country, thrash metal, and even world music. This has culminated in fresh and unique interpretations of iconic songs from the genre of Melody's extended family.
