The Allman Betts Band — led by Devon Allman and Duane Betts, sons of Allman Brothers Band co-founders Gregg Allman and Dickey Betts — will co-headline the 15th annual Rock, Ribs and Ridges Festival, taking place June 27-29 at The Sussex County Fairgrounds in Augusta.
Other performers will include Grand Funk Railroad (featuring original drummer-singer Don Brewer and original bassist Mel Schacher), Atlanta Rhythm Section, Black Stone Cherry, The Weight Band (featuring Jim Weider of The Band), and The Artimus Pyle Band.
Tickets will go on sale Dec. 19 at 10 a.m.
As the festival’s title implies, both music and barbecued food will be featured. The “Ridges” refers to the festival’s scenic location.
