Duane Betts
“For so many of us, Dad's gift to the world was music,” reflects Duane Betts, son of the late Dickey Betts, guitarist, singer, songwriter and co-founder of The Allman Brothers Band. “I'm so happy to come together with some very special friends to honor the depth and beauty of his life and, of course, to share that sweet, melodic sound he is so well known for.”
Watching them, it doesn’t hurt that the junior Allman and Betts share their dads’ genetic exteriors. Betts, in particular, has features that emulate his famous father. Better still, Devon and Duane’s voices have tone and timbre similar to Gregg and Dickey, and their guitar shredding and (for Devon) organ skills would make their papas and Uncle Duane proud. I’m still going to vote for Derek Trucks as the top of a very impressive heap in this generation of Allman Bros. spinoffs—but he actually played in the Allman Brothers, so maybe he doesn’t count. I suppose that bumps D & D up to the pinnacle.
Today, The Allman Betts Family Revival is thrilled to announce the second wave of artist lineup additions, including the legendary SLASH performing at the Ryman in Nashville. Additional newly announced artists performing in select cities include Greg Koch, Donavon Frankenreiter, Maggie Rose, and John Moreland.
