Devon Allman’s Honeytribe (Relix Revisited)

St. Louis, Missouri

Being the son of Gregg and the nephew of Duane, Devon Allman, on some level, must have been eternally curious about music as a youngster. But before his father even became a part of his life, he was morphing into a music freak: “In high school, I had a little boom box in my locker, and if I could squeeze in 45 seconds of a Van Halen song in between classes, I was doing it,” he laughs. Now 31, the Texas-born, Missouri-bred vocalist/guitarist has survived a string of soul-killing day jobs (silk screener, insurance salesman, etc.) to carry on the family tradition full-time with his band, Honeytribe, whose new Torch conjures the would-be offspring of Dickey Betts and Edwin McCain, its lone guitar instrumental marking the disc’s apex. Says Allman, “It’s really about accepting and embracing who I am, where I come from and where I want to go.”
