The Devon Allman Project with special guest Duane Betts

Following in your father’s footsteps can be a challenge, but when Devon Allman comes to The Lyric Theatre, the singer, songwriter and guitarist brings his own musicianship and style along with his father’s legacy. Allman lost his father, Gregg Allman, in May 2017 and he took time off to reflect on his loss and how to best honor his father. The younger Allman had been performing for 12 years, playing 250 dates a year and he took several months to “rack up time with my kid,” visit relatives and heal as he began the next phase of his career.

The Devon Allman Project, launched a world tour with special guest Duane Betts, the son of Allman Brothers co-founder Dickie Betts. The two have known each other since they were boys and had always spoken about going on tour together. The timing was right. Betts will open the show, Allman will do his thing, and they’ll come together on stage for an encore.

Duane Betts’ grew up traveling on the road with the Allman Brothers Band and was named after a man who Rolling Stone has ranked as high as #2 on its list of 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.

From his days with Devon Allman’s Honeytribe through chart-topping collaborations with Jack Bruce, Javier Vargas and the royal Southern Brotherhood, to his three solo albums, Devon Allman has carved out a career that would make any dad proud.
