    Devon Allman’s Rock n Roll Story

    Devon Allman’s Rock n Roll Story

    Devon Allman grew up in Texas and Missouri, and didn’t meet his father, Gregg Allman, until he was a teenager. A simple letter brought the two of them together, and before long Devon was going on tour with the Allman Brothers Band—and getting to know his dad. In another twist of fate, he met his longtime collaborator Duane Betts, whose father, Dicky Betts, was also a founding member of the Allman Brothers Band. Now the two are performing, recording, and writing songs together. 
    Devon joins Sid to talk about what it was like growing up with the Allman Brothers Band, as well as the unique relationship he had with his father. Plus, he’ll share about his recent marriage and how his long friendship with Duane Betts eventually led to the Allman Family Revival Tour.

    Charles Esten’s Long Road to Nashville

    Charles Esten’s Long Road to Nashville

    Charles Esten was born in Pennsylvania, but moved to Virginia with his mother and his sister after his parents divorced. After college, he played Buddy Holly in a long-running UK stage production before becoming a member of the casts for both the UK and US versions of Whose Line is it Anyway? Eventually, he landed a role on TV’s Nashville as troubled songwriter Deacon Claybourne, where he got to show off the musical skills he’d been developing since childhood. 
    Charles joins Sid to discuss how his parents – and their divorce – shaped him. Plus he reveals how his recent surge in songwriting, which garnered him a Guinness World Record for the number of singles released in consecutive weeks, has led him to release his first full-length album, Love Ain’t Pretty.

    Brittney Spencer Just Wants a Night In

    Brittney Spencer Just Wants a Night In

    Nashville-based country star Brittney Spencer talks about her deep respect for The Chicks, her admiration for the trailblazing country artist Mickey Guyton, as well as what she’s learned from performing with Bob Weir, a founding member of the Grateful Dead. Spencer hails from the city of Baltimore, where her family runs a popular Southern-style restaurant called Granny’s. Her debut album, which is already gathering a lot of critical acclaim, is called “My Stupid Life,” but her journey thus far has been anything but stupid. She’s toured with Jason Isbell, performed with the Highwomen, been nominated for CMT and Americana Music Awards, and is currently on the road with Grace Potter.

    José Andrés on the Healing Power of Food

    José Andrés on the Healing Power of Food

    José Andrés was born and raised in Spain and has brought his love of Spanish cuisine to successful restaurants in New York City and Washington DC. While he now has dozens of dining establishments in a host of different cities, what really sets him apart is the work he’s done with World Central Kitchen. Founded in 2010 in response to the devastating earthquake that hit Haiti, World Central Kitchen has gone on to feed survivors of hurricanes, tornadoes, and fires all around the world, as well as countless people traumatized by war.
    In this episode, José talks to Sid about the many kitchens of his childhood, how cooking for those in peril is both an act of relief and a chance to learn, and how longer tables are perhaps the closest thing to a perfect place on Earth.
