An upcoming Dickey Betts memorial concert is set to feature Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks and many more.
"For so many of us, Dad's gift to the world was music," reflects Duane Betts, son of the late Dickey Betts, guitarist, singer, songwriter and co-founder of The Allman Brothers Band. "I'm so happy to come together with some very special friends to honor the depth and beauty of his life and, of course, to share that sweet, melodic sound he is so well known for."
The newly announced memorial concert will be held on February 28 in Macon, Georgia, at the Macon City Auditorium.
A portion of the proceeds from this concert will go to benefit furthering music education in honor of Dickey Betts.
"We are thrilled to know that the proceeds are going to such a worthy cause," adds Duane.
The concert will also feature many of Dickey's bandmates and close friends including, Susan Tedeschi, Oteil Burbridge, Jaimoe, Chuck Leavell, Devon Allman, Duane Betts, Charlie Starr, Jimmy Hall, Lamar Williams Jr, and more to be announced.
