"For so many of us, Dad's gift to the world was music,” Duane Betts said in a statement. “I'm so happy to come together with some very special friends to honor the depth and beauty of his life and, of course, to share that sweet, melodic sound he is so well known for.”  

In response to the high demand, The Betts family made the decision to offer a free live stream of the concert that will be available exclusively at nugs.net/DickeyBetts.

Additionally, the Betts family, Betts' longtime manager David Spero, and Berklee College of Music are excited to announce that a portion of proceeds from the In Memory of Dickey Betts concert will go to establish the Dickey Betts Memorial Endowed Scholarship at Berklee College of Music.
