The best kept secret in music

Press


"Songwriter's Monthly (Philadelphia, PA)"

"It's hard to decide which is better, her singing or her songwriting. Jennie has such a firm understnding of what makes for a stirring performance that you can honestly get so wrapped up in her incredible voice that you forget to pay attention to anything but her performance. This girl's got something special going on, keep your eyes on her."



- Staff Reviewer


"Butler Collegian"

"Jennie DeVoe is anything but simple. One of the most talented singer/songwriters to emerge from Indianapolis, DeVoe is well on her way to taking the national music scene by storm. A petite blond with unruly hair and an engaging smile, she captivated her audience with the first words she sang, her strong voice ringing clear and true..." - Eileen Murphy


"Arts Indiana Magazine"

"What does it take to become a pop star - not just a solid performer with a local or regional following, but a bona fide star on the national scene? Darned if I know. It seems to be a combination of talent, time, luck, promotion and perserverance in some proportion I don't quite comprehend! Having said all this: Indianapolis' Jennie DeVoe should be a star. Jennie DeVoe is a small woman with a voice seven times her size. Ta Da is a deeper development of her craft and considerable skills as a singer/songwriter. With great chops and a strong package of bluesy, rootsy rock and roll with a national-caliber production, DeVoe's tunes work exceptionally well, are uniformly catchy and there's not a stinker in the bunch! She is every bit the equal of Melissa Etheridge, whose style DeVoe's somewhat resembles. She will be a star if there is any justice in this universe!" - Ken Honeywell

Bio

The winner of Billboard Magazine's 2004 World Song Contest for #1 Pop Song, has proven herself a force to be reckoned with, an authentic and unique songwriter with a quick wit, intelligent lyrics and an amazing soulful and free-spirited voice that utterly captivates. Her upcoming cd "Fireworks and Karate Supplies" was produced by John Parish in Bath, England with additional tracks by Paul Mahern. (John Parish is best known for producing Tracy Chapman, The Eels and PJ Harvey; Mahern for Over the Rhine and John Mellencamp). ...an endearing soul-blues singer who radiates the vibe of a 21st century ² ower child. Her potent gospel voice tames any crowd she encounters. DeVoe is now inhabiting the dangerous, psychedelic space of icon Janis Joplin. Fireworks & Karate Supplies is an important and irresistible leap forward. Consider all DeVoe’s dues paid with this record.
