"Deanna Devore incorporates Brazilian elements to give her music a gentle sexiness. Devore and Emma-Lee Moss (of Emmy the Great), like Duffy, stand to connect with college-age audiences and their parents - those who see the sound as new and those looking for something refreshingly connected to the music of their youth that never threatens and regularly raises a smile on the listener's face."
Phil Gallo, Variety
Two minutes before I left to come to this, I cracked open a CD from an artist I never heard before. I can't wait to listen to it again. It doesn't happen often but it happened today and it's absolutely thrilling... a local artist by the name of Deanna Devore who I never heard of before but I must find out more about her."

hey deanna. I saw you last night @ the subterranean for the first time and I absolutely loved your performance. I play guitar and sing myself and it was pretty inspirational. hope to see you again someday! :)
One word to describe last night's performance at Schubas......brilliant. Thanks for the invite....I had no idea what I was missing.....see you in October.
Hey Deanna, how are you doing? I really like Take me though the Night. It has a great Police vibe to it. Can't wait to hear a finished recording of it!
I'm SO sorry! My computer is the craziest thing in the world. But I'm going to send them to you tonight. I have to. They will be in your message inbox shortly!
Wow! I hope we're not gigging when you come to Schuba's! I hope you enjoy Chicago as much as I do Toronto-(it's been so long since I gigged there you were probably in diapers then!) P&L, Junglr Dog, Bass Harlan Flo
