No Simple Road is proud to have the one and only Duane Betts as our guest this week. Duane cut his teeth sitting-in regularly as a teen with Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees The Allman Brothers Band. A Sarasota, Florida native, Betts relocated to Southern California and led Malibu rock outfits such as Backbone69 and Whitestarr, then ascended to a near-decade stint playing guitar alongside his father, Dickey Betts, in his group, Great Southern. Whether as a touring guitarist for folk-rockers Dawes or sharing the stage with luminaries from Jack Johnson and G. Love to Kid Rock and Phil Lesh, Betts became a consummate musician, honing his craft, and issuing his first solo effort in 2017.  

Duane joins No Simple Road to talk about creating the new Allman Betts Band album 'Bless Your Heart', navigating the pull of social media, creating music that is faithful to his roots while still maintaining his own sound, growing up in a legendary musical family, memories of Grandma's giblet gravy, and much more!
