Allman Brothers statue planned for Daytona Beach boardwalk

Before becoming the worldwide sensation that many credit with creating the Southern rock genre, Gregg and Duane Allman were Daytona Beach teenagers exploring their love for music. While the brothers ultimately went on to form The Allman Brothers Band in Jacksonville — the city most often tied to their origin — they spent the early years of their lives in Volusia County, playing the blues by night and attending Daytona's Seabreeze High School by day.
