 IDLEWILD SOUTH's Founding member Don Eason (organ/piano/vocals) first experience The Allman Brothers Band live on March 28,1970, at The Winters End Concert Bithlo, Florida.

This first show left an indelible appreciation for the music, and an intense desire to learn and play in the same style. Having played in various rhythm & blues and rock bands over the years was instrumental in the creation and development of IDLEWILD SOUTH.  Being surrounded by the other six talented members of the band 

makes every show exciting and different, and helps in making sure "The Road Goes

On Forever"............

  Dave George  

Founding member Dave grew up in the foothills of Virginia, where he discovered a love for all things guitar. In addition to Duane and Dickey, he counts Buchanan, Hendrix, Beck and Scofield among his early influences. He spent several years in the northeast before settling in Raleigh in 2006.

With decades of experience, he brings a deep respect and understanding of the Allman Brothers Band's music to his role in Idlewild South. From the authentic open-E-tuned slide playing to 'outside' jazz runs, the impact on listeners is apparent.

In addition to his duties with Idlewild South, Dave is a music instructor, fronts the Dave George Trio, and works with the label Abstract Logix, where he has had the privilege of managing tours for Jimmy Herring and Oz Noy, among others.

John Martin

Robert Kintner

  John Martin's musical journey started in 1963 and in 1964 he focused on The Beatles as they swept America with some great new music that captured many.  As he developed his skills as an aspiring drummer he then discovered The Allman Brothers Band late in 1969.  That discovery changed his view and his understanding of music and how it was delivered.  Over many decades of becoming a drummer and percussionist he has been fortunate to have met, performed and traveled with and has become friends with several well known artists.  One night in Charlotte, NC at a theatre Idlewild South asked him to sit in and that led him to becoming a member of this band.  “The Road Goes On Forever” and he can attest to that without hesitation.
