Brandon-born Damon Fowler could have been an honorary Allman Brother, having been a permanent member of the late Butch Trucks’ band. After his passing, Fowler took his slide guitar and joined Dickey Betts on his most recent (and hopefully, not final) tour.

Fowler’s been compared to Jeff Beck, and has worked with said guitar legend, as well as Buddy Guy, and both Edgar and Johnny Winter. His birthday was earlier this month, but Fowler planned a massive party at Skipper’s Smokehouse this weekend, featuring his Floridian music friends T.C. Carr, Josh Nelms, Eddie Wright, Chuck Riley, and Justin Headley.

None of them have quite the resume that Fowler does, but he doesn’t care about that. Who should?
