Gregg Allman's son, Devon Allman has announced the sixth annual Allman Family Revival, which celebrates the life and music of his late father. Rolling Stone reported the 18-city tour kicks off on November 26th in Macon, Georgia at Macon City Auditorium and runs through December 17th at the Fillmore in San Francisco.
The tour will feature sets by the Devon Allman Project, Duane Betts, Donovan Frankenreiter, Maggie Rose, G. Love, and others at various dates. For full info, log on to: https://www.allmanfamilyrevival.com/
Devon Allman said in a statement announcing the tour:
We are in the sixth year of saluting my Dad’s music and life for the Allman Family Revival, but it’s reaching beyond that initial sentiment. It’s galvanizing relationships within our generation of musicians.
It’s continuing a tradition of feel based music and it’s an honor to put these shows on. Because at the end of the day I feel it’s way more about perpetuating this art form than it is about leaving our mark. Our true mark is simply the continuance, making sure we inspire the next in line to take the stage.
We caught up with Duane Betts during the last string of Allman Betts Band dates and he explained how it was only natural for him and Devon Allman to join forces musically: “I mean, we're family, y'know? Devon and I have never lived in the same city. This is by far, the most time we've spent together, the last two years. But, it's like, when you do see people that are in your family, you may not see 'em that often — but it's family, y'know? And we knew that we had a lot of respect for each other, and we would have a lot of fun together, but we, kind of, took it one step at a time as far as putting too much on the table. Y'know, we just wanted to go out and have some good shows, have a good time playing music.”
