Search - Devi :: Get Free

Sheryl Crow meets Queens of the Stone Age. Devi is a rock power trio from Hoboken NJ, led by a woman. Debra has been compared to singers Sheryl Crow and PJ Harvey and to guitarists from David Gilmour to Dave Navarro, yet she brings a fresh, sharp energy of her own to the guitar and her songwriting. Bonham-style drummer John Hummel and powerhouse bassist Dan Grennes respond fluidly to her every move. The band's debut album, Get Free, bursts out of the gate with the powerpop gem Another Day and closes with a six-minute cover of The Needle and the Damage Done that ranges from dreamy to ferociously jamming. Devi roped some talented friends into the Get Free sessions, including keyboardist Rob Clores (Black Crowes, Blues Traveler), jazz clarinetist Perry Robinson, sarod player Wynne Paris (Krishna Das), and backup singers Michael W. Dean (Bomb), Carmen Sclafani (Wiser Time) and Anthony Krizan (Spin Doctors, Lenny Kravitz).
