The Ponte Vedra Concert Hall presents Duane Betts and Palmetto Motel on Wednesday, May 27, 2026, at 7:30 p.m. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

Active since 1998, Duane Betts built a career spanning rock, southern rock, blues, folk, and country. Known for standout songs such as “Downtown Runaround,” “Stare at the Sun,” “Taking Time,” and “Ride It Out,” Betts continues evolving as an artist while delivering powerhouse performances.

With more than 16,000 followers across Spotify and other streaming platforms, his audience continues growing as he expands his musical catalog. A second-generation musician, Betts was immersed in music from an early age, watching his father, legendary guitarist Dickey Betts, command audiences worldwide.

Betts began playing instruments in his youth and honed his craft through years of collaboration, performing with bands including Great Southern, Dawes, Jamtown, Backbone69, Whitestarr, and Duane Betts & the Pistoleers. These experiences shaped his artistry before he went on to co-found Duane Betts & Palmetto Motel and The Allman Betts Band.

Duane Betts & Palmetto Motel features Johnny Stachela on guitar and vocals, Max Butler on B-3 organ, Vincent Fossett Jr. on drums, and Pedro Arevalo on bass and vocals. Together, the band delivers incendiary guitar work and a rich blend of roots rock, blues, southern rock, and country. 

Their setlists include original tracks such as “Colors Fade,” “Downtown Runaround,” “Forest Lane,” “Taking Time,” and “Evergreen,” alongside inspired renditions of classics like “Shinin’,” “Rivers Run,” and “Blue Sky,” creating a powerful and engaging live experience.
