At Behind the Setlist, we talk to artists to get the stories about the songs they play live. Most artists are known best for their recordings, but they love to be on stage. That's where the music feels at home. That's where they connect with the audience. How do they pick the songs to take the audience on a journey? Why do they cover other artists' songs? How many new songs can an artist fit into a 16-song set when people want to hear the classics? We find out.
Hosted by Glenn Peoples (Billboard) and Jay Gilbert (Label Logic).

Devon Allman and Duane Betts (of the Allman Betts Band)
In this episode of Billboard's Behind the Setlist podcast we talk to Devon Allman and Duane Betts of the Allman Betts Band. That was Devon Allman in the show opener talking about how many of the people who attend their concerts also saw them when they were young and on the road with the Allman Brothers. Devon is the son of Gregg Alman and Duane is the son of Dickie Betts, and in our conversation both talked about the joy and responsibility of carrying on the legacy of their fathers music.
The Allman Betts Band has released two albums of rootsy Southern rock, Down to the River from 2019 and Bless Your Heart from 2020. Their live shows are a mix of Allman Betts songs with some Allman Brothers covers. Concertgoers are likely to hear older Allman Brothers tunes such as “Blue Sky” and “Ramblin’ Man” as well as songs from the ‘90s like “Nobody Knows,” and they explain why in our conversation.
