No Simple Road is proud to have the one and only Duane Betts as our guest this week. Duane cut his teeth sitting-in regularly as a teen with Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees The Allman Brothers Band. A Sarasota, Florida native, Betts relocated to Southern California and led Malibu rock outfits such as Backbone69 and Whitestarr, then ascended to a near-decade stint playing guitar alongside his father, Dickey Betts, in his group, Great Southern. Whether as a touring guitarist for folk-rockers Dawes or sharing the stage with luminaries from Jack Johnson and G. Love to Kid Rock and Phil Lesh, Betts became a consummate musician, honing his craft, and issuing his first solo effort in 2017.  Duane joins No Simple Road to talk about creating the new Allman Betts Band album 'Bless Your Heart', navigating the pull of social media, creating music that is faithful to his roots while still maintaining his own sound, growing up in a legendary musical family, memories of Grandma's giblet gravy, and much more!Check out the new Allman Betts Band album "Bless Your Heart' everywhere music streams and for more on the band including tour news, bios, and more head over to www.allmanbettsband.comSONG AT THE BEGINNING OF THE INTERVIEW: 'Should We Ever Part' off 'Bless Your Heart'SONG AT THE END OF THE INTERVIEW: 'Magolia Road' off ' Bless Your Heart'FREE SHIPPING FROM Shop Tour Bus Use The PROMO: nosimpleroadFor 20% off Sunset Lake CBD PROMO CODE: NSR20 For 10% off Electric Fish Lights PROMO CODE: NSR INTRO MUSIC BY AND USED WITH OUR GRATITUDE AND THE PERMISSION OF:CIRCLES AROUND THE SUNBecome a Patron through Patreon.comLeave us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts!No Simple Road is part of OSIRIS MEDIA.
