Devon Allman

Devon Allman has blues-rock in his blood. This unmistakable sound has characterized his music from the time he started playing guitar as a teenager to his most recent albums with the Allman Betts Band. For his first solo album in eight years, however, Allman has broken free from genre expectations, picking up the bass and writing a series of songs influenced by R&B, funk and alternative rock.
"I used to create something on my records that I felt was appropriate for contemporary blues or straight-ahead rock & roll," says Allman. "That wasn't in my head this time. Instead, the goal was to write music that moved me."
The result is "Miami Moon", an undeniably upbeat album that evokes the promise of crystal blue skies, endless sultry nights and the summer of our dreams.

Allman always goes further than his own man and musician. While shaped by his father's influence, he has forged his own sound through bold choices and a tireless spirit. Last year, he and Donovan Frankenreiter set a record by playing 50 shows in 50 states in 49 days. There's still more to discover, he says.
"I'm at a point in my career where I can spread my wings without fear. 'Miami Moon' is the product of that," says Allman. "This album is proof that it's okay to leave base camp and go on your own little hike."
