About Me |
|
| Musicians, guitar players specifically, are a dime a dozen these days. What sets them apart is the emotion they convey through their music. That is the philosophy behind the music of Devin Leigh. Devin began his musical career as the lead singer/songwriter/ guitarist of Fort Worth’s notorious Hillbilly Café. A neo-rockabilly band, they released four albums. This was a labor of love, not a band put together for marketing to appeal to the masses. Just a group of friends making music that they loved. The band became a hit with all every lifestyle, the punks, the freaks, college kids, the young and old alike. The band won and were nominated for several local music awards. Several Rockabilly legends asked the band to back them up, including Gene Sommers, Mac Curtis, and Ronny Dawson. Reverend Horton Heat asked them to tour with him. Three times Grammy nominated Pat Green was impressed enough to ask Devin to play guitar on the “Carry On” album. Legendary actor James Hong(Airplane, Seinfeld) personally asked for three of Devin's songs for his movie "Scandalous Behavior," starring himself and Shannon Tweed.
When that chapter closed, Devin went solo, immersing himself deeper in all styles of Americana music. He began concentrating on songwriting. Legendary Texas writers like Townes Van Zandt, Paul Ritchey, and Ray Winkler gave Devin personal songwriting help. While touring with a power trio, people began to take notice of Devin’s guitar skills. With the offers too great to pass up, he put his singer/songwriter career on hold and became a full time guitar player. Devin took on a job playing for Dallas’s most popular singers, Becca Daylrymple. There he forged his own unique style, blending old school blues and rockabilly with modern rock and country. He co-wrote “No Man’s Land”, featured on the compilation “Texas Unplugged” on the Palo Duro Label.
Devin has been playing guitar for Austin based Bleu Edmondson for the past three years. Bleu has a gritty, southern style that is full of emotion. Playing around 250 dates a year, the band headlines all the major venues from the south to New York City, selling out many of them. A European tour is in the works. They released a live album “One Voice,” in 2006 to critical acclaim. In 2007 they teamed up with producer Dwight Baker(Kelly Clarkson), to record “Lost Boy.” The album, released under Smith Music, is currently ranked in the top 20 of the national Americana charts, and in the top ten of most Texas Charts. It was also the number one seller on Lone Star Music for 2007! Recent winners of "Best Album of the year,"and "Best Texas Band of the Year" at the Oklahoma Music Awards!!!!!!!!!!Influences include: Brian Setzer, Cliff Gallup, Luther Perkins, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, The Edge, Martin Gore_________________“He's a stud, man, he knows what he's doing for sure. The thing I love about Devin is he plays a much different style of guitar depending on what the song calls for. And he did all of the lead guitar work on Lost Boy and really knocked it out of the park. He's so diverse in what he listens to and he soaks it all up so if we need a real rockin' 80's vibe guitar at a show he'll play that. If we need a real country pickin' kind of thing, he'll do that. And he plays a lot of slide and different kinds of guitars – sounds and tones – he's very adaptable that way.” Bleu Edmondson |
