[ATTENDED: June 1, 2017] Kevin Devine
I had heard of Kevin Devine–and his Goddamn Band–but hadn’t actually heard his music. I knew that he recently toured with Pinegrove as support–a show I wish I’d seen! But here he was solo.
Devine sang a dozen or so songs. Each one was catchy and not based on simple chord sequences. But mostly the focus was on the words. And I really liked his delivery–powerful and always spot on. It worked perfectly for a solo acoustic set but i could see it working just as well for a rocking band.
I can’t find a setlist on line, and I don’t know the names of many of his songs, so I don’t have much more to fill in here.
I recall him saying that one of the songs was the title rack of his new album Instigator. I know he also played at least one song from his band Bad Books. (more…)
