Stand Back: Melody Trucks to join Florida Allman Brothers Band tribute shows

Music runs deep in Melody Trucks’ veins, and she’s itching to share it. 

Trucks, who lives in Jacksonville, is the daughter of Allman Brothers Band founder Butch Trucks and a classically trained musician.  

A year ago, she decided to chuck her corporate career and hit the road. Dozens of shows later, her concert calendar is filling up quickly.

Devon Allman talks about the Allman Betts Family Revival show

The bluesy Southern rock — sometimes hard, sometimes sweetly melodic — of the Allman Brothers Band lives on in the Allman Betts Family Revival tour, which makes a stop at the Orpheum on Dec. 1.

This is no tribute show; it’s a carrying-on-the-bloodline kind of thing, with Devon Allman (son of Gregg) and Duane Betts (son of Dickey) on guitars and vocals. It’s also an offshoot of their regular gig, the Allman Betts Band, which features their own original music. (And the pair will be far from alone: Other members of the Family Revival include Tal Wilkenfeld, Larry McCray, Luther Dickinson, Cody Dickinson, Alex Orbison, Jimmy Hall, Jackie Greene, Ally Venable, Anders Osborne, and Sierra Hull.)

50 Shows in 50 States in Less Than 50 Days

Devon Allman and Donovan Frankenreiter are at the halfway point of an insane tour that could break a world record: “This is for bragging rights”

BY THE TIME you read this, Devon Allman and Donavon Frankenreiter will be just about halfway through an attempt at breaking a world record of playing 50 shows in 50 states in 50 days — the kicker being that the duo will aim to complete the task in 49.

“If everything goes well, we should be sitting on the record by September 22 — we are road dogs and this is for bragging rights,” Allman, the son of the late Gregg Allman, tells Rolling Stone. “But, more importantly, this is a call to arms to inspire people to travel. Go to the next county, go to the Grand Canyon. Leave your known surroundings and go find yourself.”
