Devon Allman is currently in New York for a series of dates with his
band, Honeytribe, timed with his father’s residency at the Beacon Theater.
While in town, the younger Allman also performed with another guitar legend,
Les Paul. On Monday Devon Allman stopped by Paul’s weekly residency at New York’s Iridiu m
and
sang and played guitar on the song "Red House." He isn't the first
child of an Allman Brother to sit-in with Paul. A few years back, Derek
Trucks' son Charlie sat on Paul's lap while his father played with him
at the Iridium. “He’s got the same
band he formed in high school and they just hit it,” Gregg Allman says
of his
son. “They got tired of playing what they were playing and started
playing this
great blues-oriented rock and roll. It's great, foot-stomping, thumping
rock
and roll and I just love it to death.” Honeytribe will perform this
Friday at New York’s BB King Blues
Club and Devon Allman will do an acoustic show at the Beacon Theatre Saturday afternoon
to benefit Hittin' the Note publisher
Bill Ector.
