For those attending this Saturday’s 17th Pleasantville Music Festival, if Main Stage performer The Allman Betts Band conjures up memories of 1970s rock for some, that wouldn’t be off base. One of the most anticipated acts at this year’s festival, the band’s co-founders are Devon Allman and Duane Betts, sons of Allman Brothers mainstays Gregg Allman and Dickey Betts. At one time, the band also included Berry Duane Oakley, the son of the late Allman Brothers Band member of the same name. Chances are you’ll hear a couple of old Allman Brothers numbers during their set this weekend, but the Allman Betts Band is no cover band making a name for themselves off their dads’ accomplishments. “My dad’s gone; Dickey (Betts) is retired.”The Allman Betts Band is scheduled to be the festival’s penultimate set on the Main Stage.
