Duane Allman
Duane Allman was born in Nashville, Tennessee in November 1946. On Christmas Day in 1960, Duane was given a motorcycle as a gift while his younger brother, Gregg Allman, got a guitar. A few months later, Duane wrecked his motorcycle in an accident, but traded in the spare parts for a guitar of his own. Within a year, the duo played at sock hops in Daytona Beach, Florida, calling themselves "The Kings". In 1965, Duane and Gregg formed their band, "The Allman Joys", and toured the south, but they failed to make an impression in the music business. Duane, Gregg and a few friends drifted to Los Angeles where they formed a new band called "Hourglass". After recording two albums for Liberty Records, the Allmans returned to Florida where they played with the bands "Second Coming" and "The 31th of February". Duane frequently traveled to Muscle Shoals, Alabama and played backup guitar with such great singers as Aretha Franklin, King Curtis and Percy Sledge. In 1969, Duane got his first big break when Jerry Wexler, the vice-president of Atlantic Records, offered him a solo contract. Duane formed a new band which made up of drummers Jai Johanny Johanson and Butch Trucks, guitarist Dickey Betts, bassist Berry Oakley, and brother Gregg Allman on the keyboard. Once assembled, The Allman Brothers Band settled in Macon, Georgia where they joined Phil Walden's Capricorn Records for a recording contract. The band's first album combined strains of blues, soul, rock and country music into the electrifying sound that launched Southern rock music. Their second album, "Idlewild South", climbed to the top of the charts where they performed at New York's Filimore East in March 1971. The band recorded a double album released in July of that year and reached the top ten, but Duane did not live to see his band's true success. On October 29, 1971, Duane Allman was riding his motorcycle down Macon's main street when a truck pulled out from another street in front of him. He lost control of his bike trying to avoid a collision and crashed head-on into the rig, killing him almost immediately. He was 24 years old. The band played at his funeral. Only a year later, they gathered somberly, again, to bury Berry Oakley, who was killed in a motorcycle crash, just three blocks away from Duane's fatal accident.

Duane Carnahan
In the entertainment industry, a person who can act, sing and dance is called a "triple threat." Duane Carnahan - the do-it-all kid - has become one of the select few young entertainers to surpass that terminology. Not only can Duane act, sing and dance, he can perform stunts, circus acts, stand-up comedy, magic, sports and numerous other feats. Carnahan began his career on-stage one-half decade ago playing a Hooverville Kid in "Annie," flying over the stage as a witch's monkey in "The Wiz" and landing the title role in a southern California production of "Oliver!". He easily made the transition to on-camera acting, appearing in several commercials and American Film Institute movies. Dedicated to his craft and eager to explore all aspects of performing, the talented young actor joined a Stunt Kid training organization and a youth circus (whose performers move on to the true "Big Top") while continuing his acting career. In 2003, he earned his first major break twice landing episodes of "The Bernie Mac Show" in what the multi-talented young actor hopes will become a recurring venture for future episodes. Carnahan shot his first feature film in early 2004 when he earned a small role in the Joel Silver production "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang." Duane Carnahan, the do-it-all-kid, enjoys rollerblading, video games, motorcycling and, believe it or not, just being a kid hanging out with friends on a warm, sunny southern California afternoon.
