Together\, they’re the leader s of The Allman Betts Band\, a supergroup anchored by sharp songwriting\ , fiery fretwork\, and an historic legacy. Inspired by the classic sound s of the group’s family tree\, The Allman Betts Band makes timeless rock & roll for the modern world\, blurring the boundaries between blues\, A mericana\, and southern soul. Over the course of two critically-acclaime d studio albums\, hundreds of live shows\, and annual performances of th e Allman Betts Family Revival\, The Allman Betts Band has established it s own legacy of music and brotherhood. Devon and Duane first met as chil dren in 1989\, when their fathers — keyboardist Gregg Allman and guitari st Dickey Betts\, both co-founders of The Allman Brothers Band — brought their boys on tour for the group’s 20th anniversary tour. “When you gro w up on tour like that\, it connects you at a young age\,” Duane says. “ From that point on\, we knew we were family. Even though we never lived in the same city\, we always had that bond.” In late 2017\, Devon and Du ane found themselves onstage at the Fillmore in San Francisco — a perfor mance that would birth not only The Allman Betts Family Revival traditio n\, but also The Allman Betts Band itself. “That night would’ve been my father’s 70th birthday\,” Devon recalls\, “so I put together a one-off c oncert to celebrate his life and his music. Duane joined me for some son gs. Our families had been intertwined for years\, and we always knew we might form a band at some point in our lives. That show proved we had th e chemistry to do it.” The musical chemistry grew throughout 2018\, whil e the two songwriters played more than 100 shows across the world. Along the way\, they began writing new songs in hotel rooms and tour bus loun ges\, creating their own version of the soulful\, guitar-fueled music th ey’d grow up loving. Flush with material\, The Allman Betts Band recorde d its debut album\, Down to the River\, at Muscle Shoals Sound Studios. The guys tracked the record live\, recording to two-inch analog tape wit hout the use of computers or digital editing. Down to the River was rele ased in 2019\, reaching Number 1 on the iTunes Rock Chart and cracking t he Top 10 on multiple Billboard charts. “We built a fanbase very quickly \,” Devon says. “I think there was a need for our kind of music\, especi ally for people who loved bands like The Grateful Dead\, the Allman Brot hers\, and the Rolling Stones. Those fans were excited to hear a newer b and doing music in an old-school vein.” To support the album’s release\, The Allman Betts Band launched a world tour on March\, 2019 — an histor ic date that marked the 50-year anniversary of The Allman Brothers Band’ s first jam session in Jacksonville\, Florida. As the seven-piece band t oured the world\, the musical connection between Devon and Duane grew de eper. They wrote new songs during the short breaks between shows. They c ollaborated on the third-annual Family Revival. They even found time to return to Muscle Shoals Sound Studios with producer Matt Ross-Spang\, wi th whom they recorded Bless Your Heart over a week’s time. When a global pandemic threatened to prevent The Allman Betts Band from touring behin d Bless Your Heart\, the guys got creative\, playing socially-distanced gigs in cow pastures before launching an extensive drive-in tour. They h it a new stride in 2021\, when they played nearly 120 shows — including multiple performances with the Family Revival\, which they turned into a traveling festival featuring an all-star lineup of guests. Artists like Robert Randolph\, Jimmy Hall\, Donovan Frankenreiter\, and G. Love join ed them that year\, and when the Family Revival returned in 2022 for ano ther run of shows\, the guys were joined by Luther Dickinson\, Maggie Ro se\, and others. “The Family Revival started as a celebration of my fath er\, but it evolved into a Last Waltz-style reunion of players from our generation\, as well as up-and-coming talent\,” Devon explains. “It’s be come a chance for all of us to come together\, play this precious catalo g\, and galvanize our own generation of musicians. It’s something my Dad would’ve been proud of. I know that Duane’s dad is proud of it\, too.” Meanwhile\, The Allman Betts Band took some time off in 2022 and early 2 023. During the hiatus\, Duane recorded and released Wild & Precious Lif e — his full-length debut as a solo artist — while Devon toured the coun try with Donavon Frankenreiter\, setting a new world record for playing 50 shows across all 50 states in 49 days. By the summer of 2023\, The Al lman Betts Band had returned to the road\, ready to start a new chapter. The group expanded its lineup\, too\, with Allman and Betts now joined by guitarist Johnny Stachela\, bassist Justin Corgan\, keyboardist John Ginty\, percussionist/saxophonist David Gomez\, and drummers John Lum an d Alex Orbison. “We’re keeping the tradition alive\,” says Duane. “The A llman Betts Band is an original band\, and our albums are the foundation of what we do\, but we’re also happy to include a couple tips-of-the-ha t to my dad and Gregg Allman during our sets\, too. They’re part of our influences. They’re part of our history.” History\, indeed. There’s a ri ch lineage to The Allman Betts Band\, whose two leaders are carrying the musical torch once held by their fathers. This is a group of musicians who proudly live in the present\, though\, not the past. They make music for today\, creating a new soundtrack for the American South\, blurring the lines between genres along the way. There’s a bluesy Americana band with a teeth. They’re a rock & roll band with soul. They’re first-rate songwriters and top-shelf guitarists\, always searching for a new song t o sing. They’re The Allman Betts Band.\n\nTickets: https://foxtucson.com /event/allman-betts-2026/tickets\n\nhttps://findlocal.community/event/55 d78dfd-e42a-458b-bd55-075c8d7e5782 LOCATION:Fox Theatre - Tucson AZ\, 17 W Congress\, Tucson\, AZ 85701 URL:https://findlocal.community/event/55d78dfd-e42a-458b-bd55-075c8d7e578 2 STATUS:CONFIRMED SEQUENCE:0 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
