The Allman Betts Band, lead by next-generation Allman Brothers Band family members Devon Allman and Duane Betts, will release their debut album, Down to the River, June 28, the group confirmed today, along with adding a batch of dates to their ongoing inaugural world tour.
The upcoming LP was recorded in Muscle Shoals, AL, and features guest keyboardists Peter Levin (formerly of Gregg Allman's solo band) and Chuck Leavell (formerly of ABB and current tour member of The Rolling Stones). The first single from the effort, "All Night" is expected to be released May 17.
The Allman Betts Band also featured bassist Berry Oakley Jr. (son of the founding ABB bassist), guitarist Johnny Stachela, keyboardist R Scott Bryan and drummer John Lum. The group continues their current tour tonight in Oklahoma City as part of their tour that will stretch through the spring and summer, including festival dates, a European run and newly announced gigs with John Fogerty.
"Any time you get to play with your heroes it’s a dream come true, but John Fogerty, that’s pretty special," Betts says in a press release. "We are beyond honored to share the stage with him on these upcoming dates."
