“Allman has found a way to extend his family’s amazing musical lineage on his own terms.” – Premier Guitar Devon Allman’s sound lands right in the middle of some of the most soulful rock. Here, Allman celebrates twenty years since the release of his first album and national tour. Additionally, this special show will include material from each of Devon’s projects. These include The Allman Betts Band, Devon Allman’s Blues Summit, Royal Southern Brotherhood, Honey Tribe, and Devon Allman & Donavon Frankenreiter’s Rollers. Also, they will play select Allman Brothers songs. Devon Allman gained wide recognition through projects such as Honey Tribe and later as co-founder of Royal Southern Brotherhood. There, this supergroup-style ensemble showcased his soulful vocals and guitar work alongside other acclaimed musicians. Devon has built an independent career that honors the jam band and blues traditions. Meanwhile, he maintains a modern, polished tone and original songwriting voice. Here, he has released multiple albums and toured extensively. Thus, he earned a reputation for dynamic live shows, strong musicianship, and a style that blends blues, rock, soul, and improvisational “jam” elements into a distinctive contemporary Southern sound. Since 2018, GA-20 has been at the forefront of a traditional Blues revival. The dynamic throwback trio have long been disciples of the place where traditional Blues, Country and Rock ‘n’ Roll intersect. “We make records that we would want to listen to,” says guitarist Matt Stubbs. “It’s our take on the song-based traditional electric Blues we love.” Stubbs, along with guitarist & vocalist Cody Nilsen and drummer Josh Kiggans, strive to bring traditional Blues to the front lines of the modern roots music scene. “The focus for us has always been on the story, the melody, and on creating a mood,” Stubbs continues. “Traditional Country and Soul have all had these massive recent revivals. We want to be part of doing that for traditional Blues music.” GA-20 has drawn inspiration for their old-school sounds from the music they love by artists such as Otis Rush, J.B. Lenoir, Howlin’ Wolf, Junior Wells, Hound Dog Taylor, Earl Hooker, Johnny ‘Guitar’ Watson and so many others. Performing with what feels like reckless abandon, GA-20 brings a timeless immediacy to every song they play with a sound that continues to grow and evolve. The band uses vintage instruments and amps to produce their authentic sound, and favours traditional recording techniques, like recording live off the floor together in one room, to help recreate that energy and sonic connection. In their short history, GA-20 have been 3x #1 Billboard Blues chart toppers, 4x Boston Music Award winners for Best Blues Act, and have received multiple wins and nominations at the Blues Music Awards, Blues Blast Awards, New England Blues Awards, and have ascended streaming and radio charts at home and internationally.
