Late The Allman Brothers Band co-founding guitarist Dickey Betts was honored with an exceptional tribute concert on Friday night at the Macon City Auditorium in Macon, Georgia. Duane Betts curated “In Memory Of Dickey Betts,” which featured appearances from several of Dickey’s friends and former bandmates.
The core band for the first set saw guitarist/vocalist Duane Betts joined by bassist Oteil Burbridge (Allman Brothers, Dead & Company), guitarist Johnny Stachela (Allman Betts Band), keyboardists Mike Kach (Dickey Betts Band) and John Ginty (Allman Betts Band), drummer Tyler Greenwell (Tedeschi Trucks Band) and percussion players Frankie Lombardi (Dickey Betts Band) and Mark Greenberg (Dickey Betts Band). Duane and the core band tore through the ABB instrumental “Hot ‘Lanta” before vocalist Jimmy Hall (Wet Willie) led the ensemble through “Statesboro Blues” and “Nothing You Can Do” to complete the same opening sequence Dickey Betts pulled off at his last Macon concert on May 17, 2018. >> Read full news story
