News Based on facts, either observed and verified directly by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources.
The final act for the Pleasantville Music Festival’s Main Stage lineup has been announced: The Allman Betts Band.
Led by Devon Allman, son of the late Gregg Allman, and Duane Betts, son of the Allman Brothers founding guitarist Dickey Betts), they are known for mixing their own originals with classics from the Allman Brothers’ catalog. The Allman Betts Band takes the legendary Allman sound to the next generation.
The Allman Betts Band are scheduled to step onto the Main Stage at about 6:25 p.m. for the festival that will take place on Saturday, July 8. They will join the previously announced headliners They Might Be Giants, Sophie B. Hawkins, Allison Ponthier, Blac Rabbit, The Criticals and Pete Francis on the festival’s schedule.
“We’re truly stoked to have these guys,” said Festival Director Bruce Figler. “Obviously, the Allman Brothers themselves are gone, but the fact that their kids are taking the baton and running with it proves that indeed the road goes on forever.”
The final missing pieces of the lineup will be the three winners of the ongoing Battle of the Bands competition, taking place at the home of the contest’s sponsor, The Garage at Lucy’s in Pleasantville. The Battle continues this Saturday, May 13 at 1 p.m. with the Party Stage Finals, when bands will perform before a judging panel of industry professionals in an attempt to earn a coveted opening spot on one of the festival’s three stages. The public is invited and admission is free.
