About Duane Betts and Palmetto Motel
After more than two decades performing with bands including Backbone 69, Whitestarr, Dawes and his father Dickey Betts’ Great Southern, Duane Betts co-founded the Allman Betts Band in 2018 alongside Devon Allman. While that project continues, Betts has carved out his own vision, one that showcases his distinct songwriting, voice and guitar work.
That vision came to full realization with his “Wild & Precious Life” album in 2023, highlighting his unique blend of Southern roots and modern rock energy. Touring nationwide with Palmetto Motel, Betts has earned widespread acclaim for his soulful performances and his ability to merge heritage with fresh creativity. He recently completed recording a new album with thirteen-time Grammy Award-winning producer Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Sturgill Simpson, Brandi Carlile).
Palmetto Motel is Johnny Stachela, guitar and vocals; Pedro Arevalo, bass and vocals; Vincent Fossett Jr., drums; and Max Butler B-3 organ.
About Wilson & Walsh
Vocalist Samoa Wilson and guitarist/vocalist Sean Walsh deliver an intimate performance of country and folk music. Wilson has captivated audiences with a voice The New York Times calls “sweet, effortless, old-timey.” Raised in the riverbed of traditional North American folk music, she came up in the Boston scene, under the wing of jug band and folk legend Jim Kweskin. Her two duos, the Four O’Clock Flowers and Fatboy Wilson & Old Viejo Bones, have become staples of the thriving New York City folk community. Born in New Jersey, Sean Walsh began his musical journey amongst the New Brunswick all-ages house show punk scene and soon married that with a growing love of classic Americana. Soon, he relocated to Brooklyn and founded the band National Reserve.
Tickets are available for $45 in advance or $50 on the day of show. For ticket information, visit ubcfa.org.
