Great Southern's 2008 roster will look very familiar to anyone who has seen the band perform over the past few years. Returning to play with Dickey Betts are Andy Aledort and Duane Betts on guitar, Pedro Arevalo on bass, Mike Kach on keyboards, and Frankie Lombardi and James Varnado on drums. These guys really tore it up last year we are excited to see them do it again in 2008!

Dickey Betts & Great Southern: Copper Mountain. Colorado 7-29-07
Dickey Betts and his son Duane Betts brought their very special brand of Southern Rock to Copper Mountain’s Guitar Town Music Festival in the form of their band Great Southern under a glorious Rocky Mountain Blue Sky Day. On a large portable stage facing out to the mountain from the base area Dickey Betts led his six piece band onstage at approximately 6:30 for the closing slot of the two day music festival. With a backdrop of Marshall Amplifiers and Gibson Les Paul’s, Dickey and his Band were greeted with a rousing round of welcoming applause.

I almost feel vain talking about it (the movie Almost Famous), but some of those story lines are things that actually happened between myself and Cameron. You know, I talked the band into letting him travel with us. We were kind of gun-shy about interviewers traveling with us and getting on the inside because they can really tell things that shouldn’t be told. Anyway, that part of story was definitely about us. I’m not sure if it was in there, but Gregg [Allman] took his tapes and wasn’t going to give them back to him but I stole them back for Cameron. (laughs) A lot of that story was based on things that I actually remember happening. Then a lot of it was from other bands too. I just thought it was a great rock n’ roll movie.
-- Dickey Betts
