Sure to get you out of your seat, Kim Betts, daughter of Dickey Betts from the Allman Brothers, fronts the band with powerful vocals accompanied by skillful harmonies from the Gamble Creek Band. True to their country roots, the band includes fiddle, mandolin, and guitar solos to deliver that classic country twang. Guests can expect to hear the Southern Rock classics along with everyone's favorite hits from Nashville.
