Devon Allman Bids Farewell To Mike Zito

(The Blues) Devon Allman has marked the end of Mike Zito's membership of Royal Southern Brotherhood with an affectionate farewell - and he's predicted they'll work together again in the future.

Zito decided to bow out of the blues supergroup because he felt his solo career was suffering. He's just completed his final UK tour with them, and plays his last shows on next month's US Blues Cruise. He's being replaced by Bart Walker.

Allman says on his Facebook page: "Mike and I first met in 1999 at Guitar Center, St Louis. We sold guitars and dreamed the big dream. We played sh*tty gigs for sh*tty pay - and we loved every second of it.

"Now we've played 25 countries, sold tens of thousands of records and jammed with our heroes. We've even appeared in the guitar mags we used to sell in that shop. It's been a hell of a ride.

"We did the work to make the dreams happen. Constant work - that's why we don't sell guitars any more, and that's the only reason." Read more here.
