Devon Allman's Honeytribe
Press release
ATLANTA,
GA – July 19, 2006 – On August 29th, Livewire
Recordings will release Torch, the full-length debut
from DEVON ALLMAN’S
HONEYTRIBE.
HONEYTRIBE is a passionate, guitar-driven
blues/rock band based in St. Louis. Allman, son of the legendary Gregg Allman, fronts the
band on vocals and guitar and is joined by an ensemble
cast of A-list musicians, including George
Potsos on bass, Jack Kirkner on Hammond B3 and piano, and Mark
Oyarzabal on drums. Fans of
artists such as Santana, BB King, ZZ Top, The Black
Crowes, Widespread Panic and Gov't Mule will enjoy
this genuine feel good music from the soul, for the soul.
Torch is a collection of 11 songs, and was recorded at the legendary Ardent
Studios in Memphis, TN. Devon
Allman co-produced the record with Pete Matthews (Paul Simon,
North Mississippi Allstars), who also mixed the tracks.
“We are honored and excited to be working with Devon and
HONEYTRIBE. They are an amazing live band and are true
recording artists,” said Colin Cobb, President Livewire
Recordings. “Aside from studio albums, we will be releasing
a series of live records. Devon and his band truly live up to
the Allman name.”
Devon comments, “Livewire Recordings is a label that prides
itself on making the music come first. The short sightedness of major labels with soul-less
corporate structures made me seek out a company that wants to
do things the right way.”
HONEYTRIBE will be touring extensively in the U.S. and Europe
this summer and fall. In
late November, HONEYTRIBE will hit the road for an extended
tour as the opening band for GREGG
ALLMAN & FRIENDS.
