Kevin Devine

Kevin Devine is an amazing artist. It doesn't matter whether you enjoy his music, you can always appreciate his amazing work ethic. Since appearing on the singer/songwriter scene in 2002, Kevin has toured almost endlessly, while simultaneously releasing 6 LP's each one a steady improvement over the last. His criminally underrated lyrics are about everything from fighting his cocaine addiction to the war in Iraq, his melodic acoustic guitar strumming all the while. His soothing vocals conjure up images of Elliott Smith, to which he is commonly compared to. His latest album, Brother's Blood (mistakenly added in spotify under the artist KevineDevine), is the pinnacle of his career. Each track is artfully crafted and gives the album a wonderful flow. It climaxes at the title track, a definite must listen. With soaring guitars as Kevin's voice builds from a whisper only to return to a whisper. Kevin is a humble and seriously accomplished songwriter who deserves more credit than he receives. He is working on 2 new albums after a successful Kickstarter campaign. He raised just over $115,000. The albums should be out later this year and I can't wait to hear them.
