“Imagine you're making a list of today’s top female blues/rock guitarists. No doubt you'll include Bonnie Raitt, Samantha Fish, Susan Tedeschi, Ana Popovic. If you don’t include Debra Devi, your list is not complete. ”

— AMERICAN BLUES SCENE

“Devi plays dreamy blues-rockers and blistering psychedelic jams”

— RELIX

If you love “dreamy blues/rock and blistering psychedelic jams” (Relix), you’re in for an exciting ride with Debra Devi and her powerhouse band. Devi blends soulful vocals with soaring guitar work that’s earned her comparisons to Ana Popovic, Samantha Fish and Susan Tedeschi.

American Blues Scene calls Devi “one of today's top female blues/rock guitarists.” Vintage Guitar praises Devi’s “Hendrix-style jams and atmospheric slide guitar." JamBase says she's "a supersonic fret-burner who also writes hauntingly memorable songs." 

Devi's live EP, Jamification Station Vol. 1,  captures her at full throttle, hitting #5 on the Relix/Jambands.com Top 30 Radio Chart and staying on there for three months. 

Devi plays festivals from Memphis to Montana, and has opened for Joan Osborne, Jesse Malin, Willie Nile, Ana Popovic, Fantastic Cat, Chris Duarte, Marshall Crenshaw, Joe Louis Walker and more.  

Gov't Mule bassist Jorgen Carlsson joined Devi for her EP A Zillion Stars Overhead . She is one of a select few guitarists--including Warren Haynes, Susan Tedeschi and Jimmy Herring--invited to endorse Homestead Amps. 

Devi is also a best-selling author and co-author. Her book The Language of the Blues (foreword by Dr. John) won the ASCAP Deems Taylor Award. She co-authored  Goodbye Homeboy with Steve Mariotti, and Jesse Malin's upcoming memoir Almost Grown. 

Based in Jersey City, NJ, Devi's band is Kevin Jones on bass, John Roccesano on drums, and Brian Rigby on keys.
