Born on a commune in Kingston, Ontario, Devon Sproule claims dual citizenship with both Canada and the US. She now makes her home in Charlottesville, VA. After moving between private, public and home schooling, she eventually left high school, recorded her first record, and began touring nationally -- all before the age of eighteen.

Her newest record, her fourth, Keep Your Silver Shined, presents an honest and sparkling portrait of Devon Sproule: candid, poetic and right at home. "…both down-home and uptown, a delicate, Appalachian stringed-swing… Sproule doesn’t sound like any other singer-songwriter of her generation." ~ BOSTON HERALD Devon’s fresh off a 6-week run in the UK. "Sproule's vocal and lyrical beauty is unmatched." ~ ROLLING STONE

Internationally acclaimed as a songwriter, guitarist, and spirited live performer, Paul Curreri “brings a renewed eloquence to the medium.” – The New Yorker. He grew up playing music but ended up enrolling at Rhode Island School of Design to pursue painting and film. “My movies were okay, I guess,” he said. But by the time Paul graduated from RISD, he'd composed over 200 songs on guitar and piano. His newest record, his fifth, The Velvet Rut, is quite the sonic eruption (Curreri played all the instruments himself), and folks seem to be digging it: “FOUR STARS. His best yet. A riveting trip!” ~ PASTE Paul also lives in Charlottesville. He is roommates with Devon. He is also married to Devon.

The two rarely perform together (“You don’t necessarily get paid twice as much just because there are two of you,” Devon laughs. “Plus, it’s nice to miss somebody every once in a while.” “More love letters,” Paul chimes in). This will be their first EVER co-bill run up the west coast! Expect solo sets from each of these fantastic guitarists, plus, we’ve been told crossing our fingers for some duets may very likely pay off!
