Indy Band Review: Devereaux - Southport Bar & Grill 7/25/15



 
Genre: Top 40, Rock, Pop, Country...& more
Hometown: Louisville, KY
 
It's always good to have a visual...and what I'm continuing to see as I blog the local rock scene is a tremendous amount of talent circulating in Indy...even when it comes from out-of-state. Devereaux not only has a female vocalist, but one that plays electric violin...that's rare in rock...I tend to think of the Charlie Daniels Band when it comes to that instrument...so it truly adds a 'kick' to the show. And Ms. Christine to me is a mix reminiscent of Janis Joplin and Bette Midler.  And yup....there was some country tunes! *grin*
 
And talk about a well-rounded genre-spanning song list with a sound that embraces rock 'n roll...you got it! So many atypical tunes... 'Squeeze Box' (The Who), 'Pride and Joy' (Stevie Ray Vaughan), 'Give Me One Reason' (Tracy Chapman), 'Stand By Me' (Ben E. King), 'Folsom Prison Blues' (Johnny Cash), 'Honky Tonk Women' (Rolling Stones), 'Lonely Boy' (The Black Keys), 'Ain't No Sunshine' (Bill Withers), 'Hotel California' (The Eagles), 'Hit Me With Your Best Shot' (Pat Benatar), 'Teenage Wasteland' (The Who), 'Billie Jean' (Michael Jackson)....and oh so many more!
 
Definitely a band to see, hear, feel and taste...Devereaux will send your senses reeling with their high energy show. Oh no....you say you missed them this time?!  No worries....they will return in December...plan for it now and stay tuned so you don't miss out! Devereaux....a little bit country, blues, folk, soul, jazz....and of course...a little bit rock n' roll!
