Livewire Recordings has signed Devon Allman’s HONEYTRIBE to an exclusive recording agreement; it was announced today by Colin Cobb, President Livewire Recordings. Honeytribe, fronted by Devon Allman (son of Allman Brothers Band Gregg Allman) will release their Livewire debut, Torch, on August 29th, 2006.

HONEYTRIBE is a passionate, guitar-driven rock band based in St. Louis. Allman fronts the band on vocals and guitar and is joined by an ensemble cast of A-list musicians, including George Potsos on bass, Jack Kirkner on Hammond B3 and piano, and Mark Oyarzabal on drums. Fans of artists such as Santana, BB King, ZZ Top, The Black Crowes, Widespread Panic and Gov't Mule will enjoy this genuine feel good music from the soul, for the soul.

Torch is a collection of 11 songs, and was recorded at the legendary Ardent Studios in Memphis, TN. Devon Allman co-produced the record with Pete Matthews (Paul Simon, North Mississippi Allstars), who also mixed the tracks.

“We are honored and excited to be working with Devon and Honeytribe. They are an amazing live band and are true recording artists,” said Colin Cobb, President Livewire Recordings. “Aside from studio albums, we will be releasing a series of live records. Devon and his band truly live up to the Allman name.”

Devon comments, “Livewire Recordings is a label that prides itself on making the music come first. The short sightedness of major labels with soul-less corporate structures made me seek out a company that wants to do things the right way.”

Devon Allman’s HONEYTRIBE has dates scheduled throughout the summer playing mid-western festivals with notable names such as Chuck Berry and the Neville Brothers. They will be continuing their tour to the east and west coasts in the Fall.
