Rock n Roll recording artists and globetrotting journeymen, Devon Allman & Donavon Frankenreiter have their sights set on a World Record with their new See it All Tour. The concept is simple. The execution will be brutal….. 50 shows in all 50 American states in less than 50 days. Like modern day Evel Knievel’s, the tour is going to test the wills of these road-tested veterans at every turn. Don’t miss their stop at Big Top with special guest Davy Knowles.

For nearly four decades Donavon Frankenreiter has been traveling the globe, first as a professional surfer and now as a musician. With over a dozen albums under his belt, Frankenreiter has worked it on the touring trail worldwide for three decades. Donavon is a brand ambassador for Flying Embers as well as Sanuk Footwear and also co-owner of Humble Brands, Caddis Eyewear and several other companies.

Blues Music Award-winning singer, guitarist, songwriter, and producer Devon Allman (son of Rock legend Gregg Allman) has appeared at the world’s biggest festivals and has co-founded the supergroups Royal Southern Brotherhood and The Allman Betts Band amassing a recording catalog of 11 albums. He writes a column for Guitar Player Magazine, is endorsed by Gibson guitars, and serves on the board of directors for the National Blues Museum.

The See it All Tour will take them to places they’ve never been, at a pace that’s never been done. Doing one set entirely together with a backing band, the duo will be playing songs off of their soon to be released collaborative EP titled “Rollers.” Be a part of music history and cheer on Team D&D. Let’s kick the tires and start the fires.



Roots singer-songwriter and guitarist Davy Knowles first burst onto the scene in 2007 with his band ‘Back Door Slam’, garnering rave reviews, extensive triple-A radio airplay, and two top 5 Billboard Blues charting albums. Since then, he has been solo, and independently released numerous studio albums including 2014’s The Outsider and 2016’s Three Miles From Avalon . An extensive tour schedule has ensured he has put in more than 10,000 hours on the road, including appearances with The Who, Jeff Beck, Gov’t Mule, Lynrd Skynrd, Kid Rock, Joe Bonamassa, Sonny Landreth, Peter Frampton, Joe Satriani, and the Sammy Hagar-fronted supergroup ‘Chickenfoot’ among many others.

On his latest release, the aptly titled, What Happens Next , Davy Knowles boldly steps forward with timeless and cohesive songwriting; sleek modern production; and a lyrical, play-for-the-song guitar approach informed from soul, folk, rock, and blues. The 12-song body of work offers forth a peaks-and-valleys album experience winding through brawny riffs, jazzy blues balladry, and vintage soul, while Knowles’s poetic songwriting, and his soulfully emotive singing steal the show.
