Devon More
Singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and genre-bending performance artist Devon More's alternative pop rock songs feature infectious melodies, insightful lyrics, and a symphonic sensibility. Her upcoming album, Sky Is Falling, arrives on February 29th(!) 2024 to transmute your agony during these complicated times. A classically-trained flautist since age 6, Devon studied theatre before honing her artistic priorities and riot grrrl politics during four transformative punk rock years in Berlin, Germany. Devon now lives on the traditional, ancestral, stolen territory of the Coast Salish First Nations in Vancouver, BC. Longtime frontwoman for East Van punk pop power trio Hang Lucy, Devon ultimately gained renown for her original one-woman cabarets, earning critical acclaim on stages across Canada for her artful storytelling and lush layering of hypnotic live-looped soundscapes using guitar, flute, and a curious arsenal of noisemakers. Musing on wanderlust, revolution, and love, Devon’s storyful songs draw from her own unique life experience as a globetrotter, polyglot, and Traumatic Brain Injury survivor. After fracturing her skull in her early 20s, Devon experienced a years-long ‘altered state of consciousness’ that she credits as being foundational to her genesis as a songwriter and guitarist: “I was literally lost in my own mind - unable to process what had happened or the world around me. Writing songs helped me make sense of my experience.”
