    We try never to miss her UK gigs. Sings from the heart about real things….and knows how to laugh at life’s ironies. Beautiful music.

  • Helga

    Met her in Berlin, Germany and was very happy to hear a female singer which feels so funny, authentic and in a big hall very intimate and personally to me. Have bought all music of her and happy with it. Devon Sproule made my days :-)

  • Bill Thurston

    Devon is the finest singer/songwriter I have heard in a long time. There are so many good ones out there these days. Very few are great. Devon embodies this greatness. She is also quite an awsome guitar player. So fun to watch. So moving to hear.

  • Marjolijn

  • Jacki

    Highland, MD loves you Devon!

  • Andy H

    Devon’s songs never fail to capture a mood, be it happy, sad, reflective. I’ve seen her at Taylor John’s a couple of times, and they’ve been the best evenings listening to live music I’ve ever had.

  • T-Train

    Devon is good, but it’s all about Mechanical Bride!

  • LordBute

    T-train is right, devon is ok but Mechanical Bride’s “Living with Ants” is the DADDY!

  • Francis Hatfield

    Devon’s up against some fantastic artists here but she’s fantastic enough to do it. Go Dev!

  • John McGregor

    Devon and the band clearly enjoyed making this colection of music.

  • steve hughes

    I love the Dark dark dark album, particularly the track Daydreaming.Can’t wait till they play the UK(and hopefully Wales this time)again

  • Leslie Tuttle

    go Devon

  • Ayla Heefner WV USA

    The weight of the world falls away with one listen to Devon. We miss you’d brightness here in WV. Devon is a gift to the World for all to enjoy…savor every moment!!!

  • Tim Hooper

    Devon Sproule is the most talented and original songwriter of her generation. Add to this a genius for performing and playing and you have the greatest puzzle in contenporary music – how the hell has the world not noticed!!

    Devon Sproule is by far one of the best Folk singers of our generation! She’s brings the country out of this city slicker :)

  • Lauren Neal

    I absolutely am in love with the Dark Dark Dark album, I also like the Mechanical Bride album :-)

  • Ryan G

    Devon Sproule, “I love you go easy” is another fine collection of songs from Devon. Easy to listen to, yet deep lyrics over a subtle yet sophisticated musical background.

  • NORTH AMERICAN ETHNOGRAPHY SOCIETY OF BELGIUM NPO

    This is a great milestone in Country, simply super-class. Young performers with great talent, no-nonsens, pure and from the soul. Absolutely great in every way. We had the chance to meet them in Ghent, and they are also very simple and naturally friendly. We are reaching out for their new album. This is timeless music brought with great sensivity.Even with no band around it, you can only be charmed by these sweet songbirds.
