If Patsy Cline and Lucinda Williams Had A Lovechild
..and she grew up on a commune outside Charlottesville, Virginia internalizing Joni Mitchell and Gillian Welch, her name would be Devon Sproule.
Last night we went to go see the lovely Dev play at Rockwoods on the Lower East Side. We met her a few years back in Charlottesville at a mutual friends' Browning & Wendy Porter's baby shower so when we saw her name on last night's roster we decided to trek on over and show our support.
All I can say is that she rocks. Such pure talent. Such honesty. It was a little chilling.
She sang mostly from Keep Your Silver Shined, but there were a few from the older Upstate Songs, the album Rolling Stone named one of their "Critics Top Albums of 2003".
She's married to the talented Paul Curreri and the duo used to live right down the street from us on Chesapeake Street, just a stone's throw from the Downtown Mall.
Check out both their sites if you've got a minute. You'll be glad you did. Promise.
