Devon Allman and Duane Betts will honor the music their fathers made in The Allman Brothers Band with a tour of the US dubbed the “Allman Betts Family Revival.”
Devon, son of Gregg, and Duane, son of Dickey, will be joined by Anders Osborne, Luther Dickinson, and Cody Dickenson (North Mississippi Allstars); Jimmy Hall; Jackie Greene; Larry McCray; Alex Orbison; and Ally Venable on the tour, which will feature one set of songs written by Gregg Allman and one set of songs written by Dickey Betts. Additionally, The Allman Betts Band will include Tal Wilkenfeld (Jeff Beck), while select dates will include special guests like Sierra Hull and G. Love.
Originally called the “Allman Family Revival,” Devon Allman hosted the first tribute concert in 2017 to mark what would have been Gregg’s 70th birthday (he passed away earlier that year). Since then, the show has transformed into a traveling tour.
