The sons of Allman Brothers Band royalty, Devon Allman and Duane Betts, are embarking on their first world tour in 2019 under the auspices of their new collaboration — the Allman Betts Band — with an exhaustive slate of more than 60 dates.
This year is one of milestones for the Southern rock families, marking not only the 50th anniversary of the Allman Brothers but the 30th anniversary of the younger Allman and Betts first playing together themselves. Devon is the son of the late Gregg Allman, while Duane’s father is Dickey Betts. Together with Berry Duane Oakley, the son of founding ABB bassist Berry Oakley, the group will play theaters across the country as well as 10 major festivals, including Mountain Jam in Bethel, New York, and Ramblin’ Man Fair in the United Kingdom. The tour kicks off March 27th at the Brooklyn Bowl in New York City.
News of the tour follows a series of debut gigs for the new project in 2018, which followed on the heels of a tribute show that Allman staged for his father at the Fillmore in San Francisco at the end of 2017. The Allman Betts Band will release their first LP, Down to the River, later this year.
