About Me

DEVI is something rare--a rock power trio led by a woman. Debra DeSalvo is a sweet, soulful singer and "one of the most exciting, original, virtuosic lead guitarists in rock." (Lucid Culture) Drummer John Hummel and bassist Dan Grennes respond fluidly to her every move, as the band ranges from dreamy to pounding within a single song. The sound is "big and mellow rock fudge, essential for fans of real, intimate rock." (Artists & Bands) "If adrenaline, crescendos, and heartwrenchingly beautiful playing are something you would enjoy," adds Lucid Culture about a DEVI show, "get your ass down there."
