Allman Betts Family Revival at Palace Theatre; Doce Taqueria Offers Good Value on Tacos and Bowls (Tues., 12/3/24)

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 performing in a The Last Waltz-style program include: The Allman Betts Band, Luther Dickinson, Cody Dickinson, Jimmy Hall, Anders Osborne, Larry McCray, Lindsay Lou, Jackie Greene, Lamar Williams, Jr., Alex Orbison, Robert Randolph, and Sierra Green. 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. 8 p.m. Place Theatre, 21 W. Otterman St., Greensburg. (R.H.)
