When Canada-born, Virginia-bred singer- songwriter Devon Sproule released her fourth album, Keep Your Silver Shined, in April of last year, the reaction was more ripple than splash. More than 12 months on, however, after the record slowly percolated its way into the collective consciousness, the 26-year-old can barely keep up with the attention now being directed her way. She performs with a sweet, round diction that shines through even her most ornate imagery and rambunctious melodies and is a delight to listen to.

“Vintage country...with jazzy sophistication... beautifully sparse arrangements and melodies that surprise the ear when you first hear them, but which then get under your skin much more than anything more obvious would.”

John McGurgan and his brother Joe on double-bass happily recall the work of John Martyn and Nick Drake with a creativity all of their own.
