The Allman Betts Family Revival is a yearly celebration that features a diverse lineup of musicians playing blues, Americana, country, and rock music to honor the Allman Brothers Band's catalog. The Revival tour is described as a continuation of the Allman Brothers Band's bluesy southern rock, which can be hard or melodic. Some say the experience is like a family reunion for the musicians, who often don't have time to connect with each other. For fans, the Revival tour can be a chance to see a great concert or for younger fans to experience the music of the famous 1970s band. This year the Revival will feature performances by The Allman Betts Band, Jake Shimabukuro, Cody Dickinson, Jimmy Hall, Larry McCray, Lindsay Lou, Jackie Greene, Lamar Williams, Jr., and Alex Orbison.
“The hardest thing to do,” says internationally beloved soul-blues rocker Tommy Castro, “is be yourself, take some chances and bring your fans along with you.” Throughout his long, constantly evolving career, guitarist, singer and songwriter Tommy Castro has always remained true to himself while exploring, growing and creating new music, and he has taken his thousands of devoted fans right along with him. Since his solo debut in 1994, he’s made 16 albums—the last seven for Alligator—each its own unique chapter in the book of Tommy Castro. Ranging from horn-fueled R&B to piping hot blues to fiery, stripped-down rock ‘n’ roll, each release is solidly built upon Castro’s unshakable musical foundation—a dynamic mix of 1960s-influenced guitar-fueled blues, testifying Memphis-soaked blue-eyed soul and Latin-tinged East San Jose funk, all driven by Castro’s grab-you-by-the-collar vocals and passionate guitar work. Blues Revue declared, “Tommy Castro can do no wrong.”
