DEVON ALLMAN: SINGER/SONGWRITER


DEVON ALLMAN, released his first solo album TURQUOISE, out 2/2013. The blues rock, singer songwriter is on his own and commanding our attention. The former lead of the group Honeytribe (2005-2010) and Royal Southern Brotherhood is toning it down with soulful tracks that make you stop and listen to the lyrics as his rich baritone voice belts out songs like ‘Time Machine’ or ‘Stop Dragging My Heart Around’.

His distinctive vocals uniquely resonate, soul, and blues qualifying him as a legend in the making. His guitar finesse is undeniable, and the acoustic versions of his recording and live performances demonstrate the talent he has been honing since his early teens. 

The apple didn’t fall far from the tree, so to speak,  because as his dad the infamous Gregg Allman, was a blues rocker, so is his son, whom he did not even meet until his teens. (His parents we divorced when he was toddler and he lived with his Mother in the south). While they both possess unique baritone voices, they are distinctly different, and as a blues fan you just know when hear that voice, there is a place for him in the Blues Hall of Fame.
