Alright so Duane Betts and Palmetto Motel are coming to The Egg in Albany at the end of April and honestly if you care about where Southern rock and jam music are headed right now, this is a show you need to be at. The lineage alone demands attention.
About Duane Betts & Palmetto Motel
Duane Betts is the son of Allman Brothers Band founding member Dickey Betts, and he’s been carving out his own lane in the Southern rock and jam world for years now. With Palmetto Motel, his full band project, Betts channels that Allman Brothers DNA through his own lens — soulful guitar work, laid-back grooves, and a feel for improvisation that makes every show different. He’s toured with a who’s who of the jam scene and earned his reputation the hard way, night after night on the road. Palmetto Motel isn’t riding on a famous name — the music stands on its own, and anyone who’s caught them live knows it.
The Venue
The Egg is one of those Albany venues that just works for certain kinds of music. That weird spaceship-looking building in the Empire State Plaza actually sounds incredible inside, with warm acoustics that make guitar-driven music really sing. For a band like Palmetto Motel that’s all about tone and feel and letting the music breathe, The Egg is perfect. You can hear every note, every dynamic shift, and the room is intimate enough that you feel like you’re right there with the band even from the back rows.
