Devon Allman is not only the son of Southern rock and blues icon Gregg Allman, but also one of today’s top headliners in the Americana jam band scene — and among the world’s leading blues performers.
This will be a complete Blues Summit, featuring four world-class performers — from the Southern rock hitmakers Wet Willie to the stirring sounds of neo-soul and the legendary blues of Larry McCray, a staple on the international festival circuit.
The Devon Allman Project blends the instrumental mastery of top blues-rock musicians with the soul of Southern rock and blues that runs in his blood. The result is a perfectly balanced mix of classic Southern rock hits, beloved originals, and contemporary favorites.
Already a standout show on its own, this Mardi Gras on the Boardwalk lineup from Tony Mart Presents is overflowing with world-class entertainment.
Wildly popular across the South, Wet Willie toured to huge crowds and topped the charts with iconic hits like “Keep On Smilin’.” Many Northeast fans have never seen their legendary live performance. Renowned frontman Jimmy Hall is known for giving his all on stage, and he’ll bring that same energy to the Boardwalk with an incredible ensemble of top-tier musicians.
From the sultry music scene of New Orleans, Sierra Green channels the heavenly tones of Aretha Franklin and Etta James while defining her own powerful brand of New Orleans neo-soul.
Balancing it all is soulful bluesman Larry McCray of Saginaw, Michigan. His powerful voice, compelling stage presence, original music, and masterful guitar work have made him a major draw worldwide.
Together, these four artists will make the Aug. 20 Devon Allman Blues Summit one of the finest free live headliner events on the East Coast this summer.
The music starts at 7 p.m. Bring your festival chairs and your dancing shoes as we celebrate the Tony Mart legacy of rock ’n’ roll, blues, and Gulf Coast R&B — and let the good times roll.
