Devon Allman was born on August 10, 1972, in Corpus Christi, Texas. He is the son of Gregg Allman, the famed co-founder of the Allman Brothers Band. Devon Allman grew up in various locations, including Texas and St. Louis, Missouri, and did not have regular contact with his father during his early years. His interest in music developed independently as a teenager, and by his twenties, he was actively performing with local bands in St. Louis.
In the early 1990s, Devon Allman founded the band Honeytribe, originally called Devon Allman’s Honeytribe. The band became a fixture on the blues-rock scene, performing throughout the Midwest and recording their debut album, Torch, which was released in 2006. The album featured a mix of blues, rock, and soul influences and established Honeytribe as a national touring act. In 2010, Honeytribe released their second album, Space Age Blues, with guest appearances from musicians such as Huey Lewis and Ron Holloway.
Allman expanded his career with the formation of Royal Southern Brotherhood in 2011. This supergroup included Cyril Neville, Mike Zito, Yonrico Scott, and Charlie Wooton. Their self-titled debut album was released in 2012 and reached number five on the Billboard Blues Albums chart. Royal Southern Brotherhood became known for their energetic live shows, and their second album, Heartsoulblood, followed in 2014.
Devon Allman began his solo recording career in 2013 with the release of Turquoise. The album included collaborations with Luther Dickinson and Samantha Fish, and it reached number five on the Billboard Blues Albums chart. In 2014, Allman released his second solo album, Ragged & Dirty, produced by Tom Hambridge and recorded in Chicago. The album featured a blend of blues, roots rock, and Americana, with notable tracks including “Half the Truth” and “Back to You.”
In 2018, Devon Allman co-founded The Allman Betts Band, joining forces with Duane Betts and Berry Duane Oakley, all sons of original members of the Allman Brothers Band. The Allman Betts Band released their debut album, Down to the River, in June 2019, recorded at the famed Muscle Shoals Sound Studio. The album was followed by their second release, Bless Your Heart, in August 2020, which also achieved success on the Billboard Blues Albums chart.
Throughout his career, Allman has toured extensively in the United States and internationally, playing major festivals such as the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Peach Music Festival, and Bluesfest Byron Bay in Australia. He has performed with artists like Les Paul, George Porter Jr., and Samantha Fish, and appeared on stage with Gregg Allman and Warren Haynes. His live performances are noted for their energy and musicianship, often blending classic blues-rock with modern sensibilities.
Devon Allman’s music frequently features a mix of blues, rock, soul, and Southern influences. His discography includes solo albums Turquoise (2013), Ragged & Dirty (2014), and Ride or Die (2016), along with two Honeytribe albums and two studio albums with The Allman Betts Band. The album Ride or Die debuted at number one on the Billboard Blues Albums chart.
