Debra Devi

East Pete Blues Festival East Petersburg Park 6051 Pine St, East Petersburg, PA

Debra Devi plays "dreamy blues-rock and blistering psychedelic jams" (Relix) driven by her soulful voice and expressive guitar playing. American Blues Scene calls her “one of today's top female blues/rock guitarists,” comparing her to Bonnie Raitt, Samantha Fish and Susan Tedeschi. The Jersey Journal praised Devi’s “formidable guitar prowess, the beauty of her vocals, and the depth of her songwriting.”

Devi is a popular draw at blues and rock festivals from Memphis to Montana. Her live EP, Jamification Station Vol. 1, reached #5 on the Relix/Jambands Top 30 Radio Chart, staying on the chart for three months. Gov't Mule bassist Jorgen Carlsson joined Devi on her previous EP A Zillion Stars Overhead. Americana Highways calls their collaboration "exciting and mesmerizing."

Devi has opened for Willie Nile, Joan Osborne, Jesse Malin, Ana Popovic, Fantastic Cat and more. She is also the author of The Language of the Blues: From Alcorub to Zuzu (foreword by Dr. John), winner of the ASCAP Deems Taylor Award. She's based in Jersey City NJ.
