Sons of three members of The Allman Brothers band will take the stage. Devon Allman (son of Gregg) and Duane Betts (son of Dickey) play guitar and sing. Berry Oakley Jr. plays bass. The band also includes slide guitarist Johnny Stachela, keyboardist John Ginty, and drummer-percussionists R. Scott Bryan and John Lum. Allman and Betts have been friends for years. “We would run into each other backstage in England,” Allman said, “or at an event or down in Sarasota (Florida), where his dad lives. We’d catch up, do a little jamming. We always had it in the back of our minds, ‘Aw, man, it would be cool to join forces someday.’” Now they have. The concert will feature new music, songs from their previous solo projects, and classic Allman Brothers and Gregg Allman favorites in honor of the 50th anniversary of The Allman Brothers Band’s founding. Steeped from birth in Southern rock, blues, country and soul, The Allman Betts Band stirs together all those influences and more, plus its own creative touches, to forge a new sound for a new generation. Hear it first on this debut tour at the Riley Center.

Tim Carter, and Dave Hagerman on “Keep on Smilin’” by Wet Willie
1 Rockin’ Songs of the South: Freebird Night By Deroy Murdock Bohemian Club January 28, 2009 January 29, 2009 (Ladies’ Night) Draft I (Separate Thursday, Head Table and Friday scripts to follow) [The Jinks Theater’s curtain rises as we hear…] [Song: “South’s Gonna Do It Again”] Sire: Thank you very much, Michael Lee Firkins and Carlos Reyes with the Charlie Daniels Band’s hit, “The South’s Gonna Do it Again.” [Applause.] I’m Haley Barbour, and I’m your Sire tonight. This is my first time to be a Sire, but with my accent, Rich Garlinghouse, the Imperial Potentate around here, thought I’d be perfect . 2 . and, Rich, thanks for letting me do it without an interpreter. Rich says I’m the only member of the Club who pronounces his first name with three syllables. [For Thursday continue with head-table remarks, then end; Resume remarks after first musical number in Jinks Theater Thursday night. Downstairs script begins with thank yous after “South’s Gonna Do It Again.] [For Friday Night, continue straight through.] -- 3 We are here tonight to honor and appreciate Southern Rock. One of this genre’s pioneers, Greg Allman, believes the term “Southern Rock” is redundant. “Sort of like ‘rock rock.’” After all, rock & roll began as southern music. There’d be no rock without the blues, created in the Mississippi Delta by the original bluesmen, like Charlie Patton of Dockery Farms, and Hazlehurst’s Robert Johnson, who, legend has it, sold his soul to the devil to learn to play the blues guitar, down where Highway 49 intersects with US 61.

im Auftrag: medienAgentur Stefan Michel T 040-5149 1467 F 01805 - 060347 90476 [email protected] Das klassische Bestseller-Album "Brothers And Sisters" der Allman Brothers Band erscheint am 5. Juli 2013 remastert auf CD und Vinyl By the time they released their fifth album Brothers And Sisters in August 1973, the Allman Brothers Band had experienced dizzying highs and soul-crushing lows. The group had spent its first two years developing its formidable collective chemistry into an unprecedented stylistic fusion that established it as the era’s most influential American rock act. But just as the band had achieved a hard-won commercial breakthrough with 1971’s At Fillmore East, it suffered a devastating loss with the death of Duane Allman, its founder, leader and musical visionary, in a motorcycle crash on October 29, 1971. Following Duane’s traumatic passing, the band regained its bearings and soldiered on, with Duane’s brother, singer/organist Gregg Allman, and guitarist/vocalist Dickey Betts—now the lone axeman in an act famous for its dual-guitar fireworks—assuming more prominent roles in its direction. The musicians marshaled their strengths to make Brothers and Sisters—their first album recorded completely without Duane—a decisive creative rebirth as well as their best-selling release to date. Brothers And Sisters bested the sales of At Fillmore East and Eat A Peach, spending five weeks at #1 and becoming the first Allman Brothers Band release to gain Platinum sales status. Configurations Vinyl - Brothers And Sisters original recording remastered. CD - Brothers And Sisters original recording remastered.

Allman Betts Band – Pressetext (PDF)
Shooter Promotions proudly presents... „Bless Your Heart“ - Tour 2021 Musik kann langweilen. Musik kann beflügeln. Und Musik kann einfach nur verdammt gut tun! Devon Allman und Duane Betts legen mit ihrem neuen Album „Bless Your Heart“ (BMG) eine einfach großartige Platte vor. Allein die Stimme von Devon Allman....ein Traum. Diese wohltuende Kombination aus Southern Rock, Folk, Blues und herzhaftem Country ist ein einfacher Hörgenuss. Konnten die Herren mit ihrem Debutalbum „Down To The River“ aus dem Jahr 2019 schon mehr als überzeugen, legt die Band mit „Bless Your Heart“ noch eine Schippe drauf. Allein schon der Track „Pale Horse Rider“...was für ein Song! Die Söhne von Gregg Allman und Dickey Betts ( The Allman Brothers Band) haben sich- Gott sei Dank – vor wenigen Jahren zusammen getan, nachdem sie vorher lediglich als zwei verschiende Bands zusammen getourt haben. Die Chemie zwischen Allman und Betts funktioniert einwandfrei. Aber auch die anderen Bandmitglieder dürfen nicht unerwähnt bleiben. So gibt es zum Beispiel mit Berry Duane Oakley (Bass) ein weiteres Mitglied mit prominenter Verwandtschaft, ist er doch der Sohn des Allman Brothers Band Bassisten Berry Oakley. Natürlich wird die Band ständig auf ihre prominente Verwandtschaft angesprochen. Dies ist allerdings völlig unnötig. Die Allman Betts Band sind eine großartige eigenständige Band mit eigenem fantastischen Songs. Wenn sie nicht gerade auf Tour sind oder einige Festivals spielen, werden neue Songs geschrieben. Jede freie Minute im Tourbus oder im Hotel wird kreativ genutzt. Offiziell gibt es die Allman Betts Band seit November 2018. Knapp ein halbes Jahr später erschien der erste Longplayer „Down To The River“, der sich, u.a., sofort auf # 1 der iTunes-Rockcharts platzieren konnte.

A Resolution by the State Transportation Board of Georgia 2001
A RESOLUTION BY THE STATE TRANSPORTATION BOARD OF GEORGIA 2001 DUANE ALLMAN BOULEVARD AND RAYMOND BERRY OAKLEY III BRIDGE — DESIGNATED. WHEREAS, in 1969, a group of young but already seasoned and demonstrably and incredibly talented musicians, including guitarist Duane Allman, bassist Berry Oakley, vocalist and organist Gregg Allman, guitarist Dickey Betts, percussionist Butch Trucks, and percussionist Jaimoe, formed the Allman Brothers Band and established the band's home in Macon in April of that year; and WHEREAS, at now legendary jam sessions at their initial base on College Street, their later home at the "Big House" on Vineville Avenue, and other locations in and around Macon, including Rose Hill Cemetery and a farm known as Idlewild South, the band fused elements of blues, jazz, rock, and country music to create a musical genre now known and loved as "southern rock" and became one of the most exciting groups of performers ever to take the stage; and WHEREAS, the band members' talents and tour de force marathon performances across the nation not only received critical acclaim and awed their peers among musical greats but also served to inspire countless others and made Macon a musical mecca; and WHEREAS, Duane Allman's all too brief life was tragically ended at age 24 by a motorcycle accident on a street in Macon on October 29, 1971, and Berry Oakley suffered a similar fate at the same age and at almost the same location a year later on November 11, 1972; WHEREAS although their presence is sadly missed, these musicians' incomparable
