Devon Allman is, of course, the son of the legendary Gregg Allman of The Allman Brothers Band. Devon, along with Dickey Betts’ son, Duane Betts, are leading the Allman Betts Band and carrying on the legacy that their fathers created.
In this interview, Devon talks about the Allman legacy and the pressures that might come with it. He talks about getting that vintage sound and the paths that were taken to achieve it. Devon also gives us his thoughts on his father’s memoir My Cross To Bear, setting the World Record for performing in all 50 states in 49 days, and he even takes us on a journey through his tattoos and the family stories that come with them.
Devon, Duane, and the other members of The Allman Betts Band are getting ready to hit the road on an ambitious American tour that kicks off on May 16th, 2024 in Charleston, South Carolina and runs through June 9th, 2024.

Hello everyone! My name is Scott Itter, but some know me as Dr. Music. I am a music journalist and photographer out of the Chicagoland area, and I have been in practice for over 20 years. I grew up in the 70’s with two big brothers that showed me all kinds of rock and roll. As I grew older I ventured out into different genres like jazz, funk, folk, and whatever else I could wrap my ears around. As I read every liner note and every Circus and Hit Parader like they were the Old and New Testament, I came to realize that I just love sound and appreciate all the people that create it.
I later became a stay-at-home dad and started honing my writing and photography skills to keep my mind from turning into mashed peas. My kids are now adults, my mind is only slightly mushy, and I am thrilled to have the honor of presenting my work to you!
