Search - Dewveall :: The Water EP

All proceeds from Dewveall s new release, The Water EP, are being donated to Living Water International to drill water wells in impoverished nations. Meet Dewveall, made up of artists Jonathon and Melanie Dewveall from Houston, Texas. The Story Goes a Little Like This... Jonathon, who cut his musical teeth on the trumpet eventually headed off to college on a voice scholarship and simultaneously picked up the guitar. Meanwhile, Melanie discovered the enigmatic orthodoxy of an organ s melody at the tender age of seven, and before graduating college, had tamed the white and black keys of the piano. So the two meet along the way, decide life might be better done together, and opt for post-marital Dewveallian bliss in the form of musical moonlighting all over Houston before landing in Nashville. The Upshot... A pop-folk, bluesy-acoustic rock and soul sound with leviathan Jonathon singing lead, lilliputian Mel breathing harmony. From the contemplative Wait in the Water to the lampoonish hype of Like a Star all the way back to the wonder of Gravity, Dewveall is a two person, one voice accord that makes texture, grit, rasp and whisper sometimes sound like soul singer Amos Lee and sometimes going the way of the more rambunctious Black Crowes. The two do the whole music scene because of the people they meet, because music, they believe, connects people and reminds them that they re more alike than they are different. Our music explores what it means to be human, Jonathon says. Our songs, our lyrics, give us the chance to identify with experiences that belong to people everywhere. We really like that.
