Devon Allman and Duane Betts will honor the music their fathers made in The Allman Brothers Band with a tour of the US dubbed the “Allman Betts Family Revival.”
Devon, son of Gregg, and Duane, son of Dickey, will be joined by Anders Osborne, Luther Dickinson, and Cody Dickenson (North Mississippi Allstars); Jimmy Hall; Jackie Greene; Larry McCray; Alex Orbison; and Ally Venable on the tour, which will feature one set of songs written by Gregg Allman and one set of songs written by Dickey Betts. Additionally, The Allman Betts Band will include Tal Wilkenfeld (Jeff Beck), while select dates will include special guests like Sierra Hull and G. Love.
Originally called the “Allman Family Revival,” Devon Allman hosted the first tribute concert in 2017 to mark what would have been Gregg’s 70th birthday (he passed away earlier that year). Since then, the show has transformed into a traveling tour.

Joe Walsh may be currently unable to tour with the Eagles this summer, but he’s found himself a new bandmate: 4-year-old Roy Orbison III, grandson of the late Roy Orbison.
In the video above, Walsh performs with the child during a recent visit to Roy Orbison Jr.’s home in Nashville. Walsh, who is Orbison III’s godfather, guides him through his classic 1973 song “Rocky Mountain Way.”

Born April 23rd, 1936, in Vernon, Texas, rock & roll icon Roy Orbison would have celebrated his 84th birthday today. A pioneering artist in the Fifties whose distinctive look and operatic voice gave rock and pop songs a stark, dramatic edge, Orbison was a superstar throughout the world, breaking through with hits including “Only the Lonely,” “Crying,” “Blue Bayou,” and “(Oh) Pretty Woman.”
After dominating the charts throughout the Sixties, Orbison had few hits throughout the Seventies but he made several television appearances in the U.S., including the ABC music series...

One of the emotional climaxes of the new “A Star is Born” remake arrives when Bradley Cooper, playing alcoholic country-rocker Jackson Maine, drunkenly humiliates his wife, a mortified Lady Gaga, at the Grammy Awards. But just before he makes a mockery of himself at the podium, Maine stumbles through a tribute segment to the late Roy Orbison. Hammered to the point of being barely conscious, he nevertheless makes it through some rowdy guitar licks on a rousing cover of Orbison’s famous “Oh, Pretty Woman,” while the real-life Brandi Carlile takes the vocal lead.
It’s an exciting, memorable scene. And it happens to come right as Orbison is already having a moment.
It’s been 31 years since T Bone Burnett assembled Bruce Springsteen, Tom Waits, Elvis Costello and others for the super-group tribute show “A Black and White Night” — a concert special Cooper’s scene knowingly references. Months after...

An official biopic of Roy Orbison has been confirmed...
Roy Orbison’s estate will cooperate with The Big O, a new biopic based on the life of the man who wrote 'Pretty Woman', 'Running Scared', 'In Dreams' and 'Only the Lonely'.
Roy Orbison was made for movies. That pallor. Those sunglasses. David Lynch saw it and Dennis Hopper channeled it. Roy Orbison was a mystery man, who never showed his eyes after losing his wife Claudette, who haunted his songs. Actually, Roy lost his regular, Buddy Holly style glasses on a tour bus with the Beatles when they opened for him in the UK. He kept both the shades and his friendship with George Harrison. They even formed a band together with Bob Dylan, Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne.
The biopic The Big O will be written by Ray Gideon and Bruce Evans,...
