Allman Betts Family Revival Plays the Palace; Mr. Smalls Hosts The Lemonheads (Tues., 12/2/25)

1) Some ingredients go very well together, like ice cream and hot fudge sauce. Another tasty combination is the Allman Betts Family Revival. The group consists of sons of some of the players in the former Allman Brothers Band. This includes Devon Allman, Duane Betts, and Berry Duane Oakley. Other notables joining them include: Robert Randolph, Amanda Shires, Judith Hill, Jimmy Hall, Cody Dickinson, Luther Dickinson, Alex Orbison, and Mattie Schell. The Allman Betts Band’s Devon Allman is the son of the late Gregg Allman and Shelly Jefts, while Duane is the son of  longtime Allman Brothers’ lead guitarist Dickey Betts and Paulette Howell. Duane was named after Allman Brothers’ band co-founder Duane Allman, who was a lead guitar virtuoso. The latest Allman Betts Band album is Bless Your Heart, which was released in 2020. Some Allman Brothers Band songs played on the set list are from both the Duane Allman 1970’s era and the 1990’s comeback period. 7:30 p.m. Palace Theatre, 21 W. Otterman St., Greensburg. (R.H.)

2) Boston alt-rockers, The Lemonheads, are in town for a show at Mr. Smalls Theatre on their Love Chant World Tour. After forming in 1986 the band has had many iterations with lead vocalist (and guitar) Evan Dando being the groups only constant member. Top hits for the band include “Mrs. Robinson,” “It’s a Shame About Ray,” and “Into Your Arms.” The Lemonheads latest LP and title track, Love Chant, was influenced by Dando’s recent relocation to Brazil. It is described as bold and melodic and features longtime collaborators and new voices. Special guest is Erin Rae. 7 p.m. 400 Lincoln Ave., Millvale. (R.H.)
