Dynamic, respected, and steady rolling singer, songwriter and guitarist Duane Betts returns with his most unguarded and personal work to date -- the highly anticipated new album, Isle of Hope, out June 12 via Sun Records. Produced by Grammy-winner Dave Cobb and recorded in just five days, Betts crafted Isle of Hope during an especially transformative period. At a pinnacle time in his thriving, decades-long career as both a solo artist and founding member of The Allman Betts Band, he lost his father and mentor, Dickey Betts. Isle of Hope is a revelatory snapshot of this pivotal moment. Forced to confront the reality of time and mortality head-on, Betts discovered a deeply impactful sense of clarity and conviction. The new project adds to a renowned career for Betts, who followed his debut EP, Sketches of American Music, with his acclaimed first solo LP, 2023’s Wild & Precious Life.
