About Me



"DEVI is Deb DeSalvo's new power trio, and it's apt that the band name is the Hindi word for goddess. The petite, pantheonic powerhouse is one of the few guitarists alive who can actually pull off a long, expressive solo without sounding ridiculously self-indulgent. A master of touch, tone and shading, she's also a supersonic fret-burner with a deep feel for the blues and writes hauntingly memorable, minor-key songs. Expect lots of crescendos and a passionate, intense show." TRIFECTAGRAM

"One of the great guitar players of our time. If adrenaline, crescendos, and fiery, virtuosic, heartwrenchingly beautiful playing are something you would enjoy, get your ass down there. " LUCID CULTURE
