Devon Allman Details New Solo Album ‘Miami Moon’ Featuring All-Star Backing Band

Singer-songwriter Devon Allman announced Miami Moon, his first solo album since 2016. The nine-track collection is due on August 16 via Allman’s Create Records imprint.

Devon Allman assembled an incredible band to back him in the studio. Allman is accompanied on the follow-up to 2016’s Ride Or Die by bassist George Porter Jr., keyboardist Ivan Neville, drummer Adam Deitch, Karl Denson on saxophone and guitarist Jackson Stokes.

Produced by Tom Hambridge, Miami Moon was tracked on 2″ analog tape at the famed Criteria Studios in Miami. Devon Allman has a special connection to the facility as his father Gregg Allman and The Allman Brothers Band recorded the studio portions of their iconic 1972 album Eat A Peach at Criteria. Additionally, Devon’s uncle Duane Allman helped create the Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs LP at Criteria as a member of the Eric Clapton-led Derek & The Dominos.

Devon Allman shared the following in regards to Miami Moon:

“Making the Miami Moon record with these legendary musicians has been a high point of my career. They brought these songs to life with their masterful playing and timeless feels. As for the approach, a couple things were different this time: First, writing the songs on bass guitar was a first for me and allowed the grooves to be the main focus. Also, letting go of some previous, limiting thought processes allowed some of my other influences to enter the chat for the first time such as Curtis Mayfield, Sade, The Cure, Steely Dan…among others. I believe you can hear some flourishes of those true loves on this album. Additionally, recording in the same hallowed halls where Dad made the Eat a Peach record and where Uncle Duane and Eric Clapton recorded the Layla record, made for a very special setting for us all to work in. We kept it fun and we kept it funky…..we ordered Cuban food, watched the NBA and jammed in a circle for days. In a world where you can make records in the basement or your bedroom, I’m so grateful to have done this record in a classic manner.”

Devon Allman will share “White Horse,” the lead single and opening track from Miami Moon, later this week. Allman will mix shows with his own band and The Allman Betts Band throughout 2024.
