The announcement has reignited enthusiasm among fans, promising a year-end celebration of music and nostalgia.

The Tour: Honoring the Legacy

The Allman Betts Family Revival, led by Devon Allman and Duane Betts, continues the legacy of The Allman Brothers Band, bringing their timeless music to audiences across North America. The 2024 tour will kick off on November 30 in St. Charles, Illinois, and will feature stops in iconic venues like The Beacon Theatre in New York and the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville.

The tour’s concept is a tribute to the eras that defined the Allman Brothers’ sound, with two sets per night:

•The first set will feature music from the 1970s Duane Allman era, celebrating the foundational Southern rock sound.

•The second set will dive into the 1990s revival period, offering fans a mix of nostalgia and fresh interpretations.

“We’re thrilled to bring this music back to life with the help of our incredible lineup of artists,” said Devon Allman. “This is more than a concert; it’s a celebration of legacy, creativity, and the timeless bond music creates.”

Star-Studded Lineup

The Allman Betts Family Revival will be joined by a rotating cast of musicians, including Sierra Hull, Jake Shimabukuro, Luther Dickinson, Cody Dickinson, and Jimmy Hall. Fans can also expect contributions from Grace Bowers, Jackie Greene, and special guests at select venues. The legendary Brotherhood of Light, known for their stunning visual displays with The Allman Brothers Band, will also return to provide immersive stage visuals.

New Album: ‘Eternal Southern Echoes’

Complementing the tour is the release of a new studio album, Eternal Southern Echoes. The album promises a modern take on the Southern rock genre while honoring its roots. Recorded in Nashville, Tennessee, and featuring collaborations with renowned musicians, the album is described as a “journey through time,” blending blues, jazz, and rock influences.

The lead single, “Infinite Highway,” is slated for release on December 15, giving fans a taste of what’s to come. According to Duane Betts, the album serves as “a bridge between generations, connecting the past and present through heartfelt lyrics and rich instrumentation.”
