Melanie Devaney live at Agave Maria's

LA-based singer/songwriter Melanie Devaney will perform at Agave Maria's Mexican Restaurant and Cantina in Ojai on Sunday, August 31st from 4:00-7:00 P.M. This is a FREE show!  

The venue is located at 106 S. Montgomery Street.  For more information:  http://agavemarias.com/ or call (805) 646-6353.

Devaney is touring in support of her upcoming 3rd solo effort, Single Subject Notebook, which was released on March 4, 2014.   Fans of Shelby Lynne, Lori McKenna, Natalie Merchant, and Dar Williams will enjoy Devaney’s music. 

George Varga at The San Diego Union-Tribune said, "An Iowa native who lives in Los Angeles, Melanie Devaney is a small-town girl with a flair for writing and singing earthy songs that smartly draw from folk, country and rock. Armed with a degree in creative writing and years of classical piano training, she’s a promising young artist whose unaffected music is delivered with a welcome absence of fuss. If her live shows match her arresting new album, Single Subject Notebook (which was expertly produced by Ryan Adams veteran Jamie Candiloro), Devaney should be worth catching." 

The Aquarian Weekly said, “There’s a unique new voice in town. Singer-songwriter Melanie Devaney’s Single Subject Notebook (self-released) has 10 originals and a sterling cover of Lennon/McCartney’s ‘Don’t Let Me Down.’ Call it Americana or pop folk if you want but it’ll be worth your time and effort going out of your way to hear this Iowan beauty “ 
The Billings Gazette said, ”That polish pushes Devaney’s terrific voice way out front on light, twangy rockers like “Carry My Guitar” and “Oh, Adam.” And she’s never sounded better on sweet little ballads like “Playin’ Make Believe” and the pedal-steel sweetened “One Little Teardrop,” which should be playing on every country radio station in America."
