DESCRIPTION:
RIP Gregg Allman.... Loving Thoughts to you Devon and your family...

The intertwining lives of two generations of rock and rollers is explored through the State of the Arts feature story, "Devon Allman: Second Generation Rocker" narrated by radio icon, SMASH. In addition to once-in-a-lifetime concert footage of both generations performing together, viewers get an exclusive back stage pass at their Pageant concert in St. Louis. Rock and Roll hall of famer Gregg Allman and his son Devon share rare candid comments about their relationship, their passion for music and about keeping the balance in today's ever-changing music industry. Viewers are also treated to behind the scenes recording studio footage that was shot at the famous Ardent Recording studios in Memphis, Tennessee and includes footage of Huey Lewis and Devon Allman laying down tracks for Honeytribe's new chart topper album release, "Space Age Blues." I hope you enjoy this captivating story about a hardworking son carrying on the family music legacy, yet standing out as a gifted artist himself. Devon Allman's soulful, lyrically deep song writing and guitar driven music genius clearly stands on it's own.
