Miami Moon

Fresh off setting a world record, 50 shows in 50 states in 49 days, and a pair of wildly successful national and international tours with The Allman Betts Family Revival and 2024’s Allman Betts Band tour, Devon Allman, is thrilled to announce "Miami Moon", his 1st solo album in 8 years, August 16th, 2024, via his own, Create Records.

For the album, Allman put together one of the finest studio bands in recent history featuring George Porter Jr (The Meters) on bass, Ivan Neville (Keith Richards, Dumpstaphunk) on keyboards, Adam Deitch (Lettuce) on drums, Karl Denson (Rolling Stones) on saxophone, and Jackson Stokes on guitar.

"Miami Moon" was recorded on 2” analog tape at the historic Criteria Studios in Miami, Florida, the same studio where "Layla" and "Eat A Peach" were born, and was produced by Grammy winning producer Tom Hambridge (Buddy Guy, Chris 'Kingfish' Ingram).

“Making the 'Miami Moon' record with these legendary musicians has been a high point of my career. They brought these songs to life with their masterful playing and timeless feels. As for the approach, a couple things were different this time. 1st, writing the songs on bass guitar was a first for me and allowed the grooves to be the main focus. Also, letting go of some previous, limiting thought processes allowed some of my other influences to enter the chat for the 1st time such as Curtis Mayfield, Sade, The Cure, Steely Dan, among others. I believe you can hear some flourishes of those true loves on this album. Additionally, recording in the same hallowed halls where dad made the 'Eat A Peach' record and where uncle Duane and Eric Clapton recorded the 'Layla' record, made for a very special setting for us all to work in. We kept it fun and we kept it funky, we ordered Cuban food, watched the NBA and jammed in a circle for days. In a world where you can make records in the basement or your bedroom, I’m so grateful to have done this record in a classic manner”.

The album sounds like the past and the future colliding under neon pink Miami skies, funky, fresh, and soulful. Allman will be touring worldwide all year in support of the new album with his high energy 6 piece band, the Devon Allman Project.
