FINDING NOVYON
DEVON THOMPSON
Growing up a pale, emaciated misfit Devon Thompson found her home listening to music. A California child of the sun she was not meant to be. Early Siouxsie, The Animals, The Cramps, Bill Evans and the Beatles permeated her developmental years. By the age of 19 Devon had been playing Los Angeles clubs with her bands for many seasons.
Her recordings are thus far lingering with the Bel Canto of Roy Orbison, the delicacy of Harriett Wheeler and the sheer aggression of PJ Harvey. Devon has trimmed her ensemble to the bare essentials for maximum impact. Devoid of pre-records, and modern gimmick Devon keeps her songs and show brutally honest in delivery. Bass, Drums and her library of beautiful Guitars allow Devon’s audience to witness the most delicate surgery to primordial amputation of sound in the same set.

"This artist channels elements of classic rock, with a modern flair, and a twist of vibrant personality to make songs like this shine." - Chorus FM
“A raw, driving rocker.” - Buzzbands LA
“The driving guitar track is the snarling sound of a young woman discovering who she is.” - She Makes Music
