On this episode of Tent Show Radio, Rock n Roll recording
artists and globetrotting journeymen, Devon Allman &
Donavon Frankenreiter perform a career spanning set,
showcasing songs off their collaborative
EP Rollers.
For nearly four decades Donavon Frankenreiter has been
traveling the globe, first as a professional surfer and now as a
musician. With over a dozen albums under his belt, Frankenreiter
has worked it on the touring trail worldwide for three decades.
Donavon is a brand ambassador for Flying Embers as well as Sanuk
Footwear and also co-owner of Humble Brands, Caddis Eyewear and
several other companies.
Blues Music Award-winning singer, guitarist, songwriter, and
producer Devon Allman (son of Rock legend Gregg Allman) has
appeared at the world’s biggest festivals and has co-founded the
supergroups Royal Southern Brotherhood and The Allman Betts Band
amassing a recording catalog of 11 albums. He writes a column for
Guitar Player Magazine, is endorsed by Gibson guitars, and serves
on the board of directors for the National Blues Museum.
In June of 2023, Allman & Frankenreiter released their
collaborative EP,
Rollers, a 6-song collection,
produced by Luther Dickinson of the multiple Grammy-nominated North
Mississippi Allstars and mastered by Brad Sarno at Blue Jade Audio,
featuring previously released singles “Calling All You Riders” and
“See It All” as well as a guest appearance from Maggie Rose on the
track “We Belong.” The songs on Rollers serve as the soundtrack for
the duo’s world-record breaking See It All Tour, where Allman and
Frankenreiter set the Official World Record for fastest time to
play a concert in each of the 50 states. The execution was brutal,
but the rock ‘n’ roll recording artists and longtime friends, along
with their talented band mates – Matt Grundy (bass), John Lum
(drums), David Gomez (percussion, sax), Jackson Stokes (guitar),
were successful in breaking the previous record, playing 50 shows
in 49 days in the summer of 2023, one of those dates being under
the tent at Big Top Chautauqua.
