Velvet Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 (edited) All Betts are off! Good things happening for Devon Allman. After a successful year touring as The Devon Allman Project with special guest Duane Betts, the sons of Gregg Allman and Dickey Betts are joining forces to form The Allman Betts Band. The new ABB includes Devon Allman, Duane Betts, Berry Oakley Jr. (son of original Allman Brothers Band bassist Berry Oakley), Johnny Stachela (slide guitar) and Devon Allman Project percussionists R. Scott Bryan (Sheryl Crow) and John Lum. They will kick off 2019 with a new Allman Betts Band album and a Worldwide tour that will feature new music, songs from their solo projects and classic Allman Brothers and Gregg Allman tunes in honor of the 50th Anniversary of The Allman Brothers Band. The new album, slated for release in the Spring of 2019, will be recorded at the legendary Muscle Shoals Sound Studios and will be produced by Matt Ross-Spang (Jason Isbell, Margo Price, John Prine, and Elvis Presley). Former Allman Brothers Band keyboardist and current Rolling Stones keyboardist, Chuck Leavell will guest on the new album with Peter Levin (Gregg Allman's keyboardist) handling keyboard duties for the rest of the record. The Allman Betts Band will launch a World Tour in March and perform throughout 2019 at festivals, theaters, and historic venues.

edger Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 This is good news in my books. I quite enjoyed their set at peach fest this past summer. Any way ABB music stays alive is good by me. Sacred shit! Not to mention something cathartic about the next generation getting along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
