(Daytona Beach, FL – November 11, 2020) Live music is back in Daytona Beach. Following the kick-off concert with the Marcus King Trio, the Live! at the Bandshell Series continues with shows from the Allman Betts Band on November 19th and Chase Rice on November 20th and 21st. In addition, rising country stars Jimmie Allen and Matt Stell along with special guest Chris Bandi perform this Saturday, November 14th as part of the series. All shows take place at the Daytona Beach Bandshell, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
The sons of Gregg Allman (Devon Allman) and Dickey Betts (Duane Betts) have joined forces to form the Allman Betts Band. The 
show features new music, songs from their solo projects and classic Allman Brothers and Gregg Allman tunes in honor of the 50th Anniversary of The Allman Brothers Band. The seven-piece ensemble released their sophomore album, “Bless Your Heart” this past summer. The Allman Betts Band also includes Berry Oakley Jr. (son of original Allman Brothers Band bassist Berry Oakley), Johnny Stachela on slide guitar, John Ginty on Hammond B3 (Robert Randolph/Dixie Chicks) and Devon Allman Project percussionists R. Scott Bryan (Sheryl Crow) and John Lum.

Born in the Ormond Beach area and raised on a farm in North Carolina, Chase Rice went to the University of North Carolina to pursue his career as a football linebacker. After an injury ended his football career, Rice found his passion in music. After college, Rice joined NASCAR as a pit crew member, where he won two championships with his team and later became a contestant on the television show Survivor: Nicaragua, where he won second place.
However, in his heart he wanted to continue his music and after a couple of independent album releases of his own, Rice signed a major label deal. Rice released his new album “The Album Part II” earlier this year. His single “Lonely If You Are” was one of the top played songs on country radio this fall. Rice’s show will be an intimate acoustic performance expected to include many of his hits like “Three Chords & the Truth,” “Ready Set Roll,” “Gonna Wanna Tonight,” and “Eyes On You.”
