The Allman Betts Band Hit the Road in Support of Debut LP, 'Down to the River'
The band will perform select dates with John Fogerty in August.
The Allman Betts Band, featuring Devon Allman, son of Gregg Allman, and Duane Betts, son of Dickey Betts, have released their debut album, Down to the River. You can watch the music video for album opener "All Night" above.
The band recorded the LP in November of 2018 in Muscle Shoals, AL at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio, working with Grammy Award-winning producer, Matt Ross-Spang. Motivated by classic recording techniques, the band cut the album live using vintage gear, without computers or any digital editing.
The Allman Betts Band are now hitting the road, making stops at performance spaces and festivals all over the world. The forthcoming summer portion of their tour has a number of highlights, including a handful of dates with John Fogerty in the Northeast, with stops in Providence, RI, Portland, ME, Boston, MA and a performance at Radio City Music Hall in NYC.
"Anytime you get to play with your heroes it's a dream come true, but John Fogerty, that's pretty special. We are beyond honored to share the stage with him on these upcoming dates," says Betts. "As a longtime fan of CCR, I'm so amped up to do some shows with one of the best voices in rock music," adds Allman.
