One year after the passing of Dickey Betts, the guitarist, singer, songwriter and co-founder of the Allman Brothers Band will be honored with a tribute concert on February 28, 2025, to be held, fittingly, in Macon, Georgia. The evening will feature many of his bandmates, close friends and family, including Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks, Susan Tedeschi, Oteil Burbridge, Jaimoe, Chuck Leavell, Devon Allman, son Duane Betts, Charlie Starr, Jimmy Hall, Lamar Williams Jr, and more. With the concert sold-out, the Betts family made the decision to offer a live stream of the concert that will be available exclusively at nugs.net.

“For so many of us, Dad’s gift to the world was music,” reflects Duane Betts, son of the legend who died on April 18, 2024, at age 80. “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 memorial concert will be held at the Macon City Auditorium. The city was the home base of the Allman Brothers Band. A portion of the proceeds from this concert will go to establish the Dickey Betts Memorial Endowed Scholarship at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, providing financial assistance to students who demonstrate both exceptional musical ability and financial need. “We are thrilled to know that the proceeds are going to such a worthy cause,” adds Duane.

Tickets may still be available for purchase at StubHub.
