colterphoto1 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 News Here on the release of Klipsch Reference/Legends gal Jennie DeVoe's album release party on July17st. Album is set for release on Tuesday the 21st. That's this Friday at the Rathskeller, downtown Indy. I'll be there helping DeVoe soundman Karl Bruhn setup up his fantastic rig. Other gigs this weekend include Devon Allman (yes from that family) also at Rathskeller tonight. He brings the same mellow soulsy sounds that father Gregg has. Jennie's the one in the middle, with the wild blonde locks, guitar, and sultry blues gal voice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colterphoto1 Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 ...an endearing soul-blues singer who radiates the vibe of a 21stcentury flower child. Her potent gospel voice tames any crowd sheencounters. DeVoe is now inhabiting the dangerous, psychedelic space oficon Janis Joplin. Fireworks & Karate Supplies is an important andirresistible leap forward. Consider all DeVoe's dues paid with thisrecord." - David Lindquist, Music Critic, Indianapolis Star Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colterphoto1 Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 just come on down tonight around 6-probably $5 at the door. Rathskellar is SE of the Murat, enter off the alley SE of the Anthaneum building (looks like brick gymnasium) Stop by the sound board and say hello. I'll be the one with all the hair.

BadDad Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Great job M. Sound was excellent. Weather was perfect. Who would think you would need a jacket, in July, in Indiana? Crowd was at least 1500 thinking maybe 2000, boy can Jennie sing. Everyone should hear her if given the chance. My better half enjoyed it also, but her feet got a little tired from standing all night. Enjoyed visiting with you. Hope you make it through your busy weekend.

colterphoto1 Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 Hey, thanks for coming down, always good to see a Klipsch Brother in the crowd. Hope you enjoyed your mini tour of the sound system (BadDad got my attention right at break so we got to chat a bit). Jennie was smoking tonight, I thought her stage presense and rapport with the audience was fantastic. She really knows how to connect with a crowd. Gotta get to beddies, setting up the Colter PA tomorrow morning, and a mini system around noon. Gonna be a LONG weekend, but the weather is perfect! Yeah, my feet are on FIRE.

colterphoto1 Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 In 2004, Indianapolis-based singer-songwriter Jennie DeVoe packedher suitcase and guitar for a trip across the pond to the English spatown of Bath. She had enlisted the aid of PJ Harvey collaborator, multi-instrumentalist, and, most importantly, producer John Parish for her third album Fireworks & Karate Supplies. The intimate, bluesy record she brought home from that visit garneredcritical praise and some serious radio play back in the States.Five years on, DeVoe has returned to Bath, and to Parish, for her follow-up studio album, Strange Sunshine. This time around, however, she paid for her touring band to come alongfor the ride. The resulting album demands respect as quavering tremeloguitar, floating Mellotron, and piercing Hammond B3 organ provide thetight backing-groove for DeVoe’s sultry, honey-eyed vocals to evolvefrom a confidential rasp ("Strange Sunshine") to sanctified bluesbelter ("Foolproof"), and on to soulful powerhouse gospel ("I BreakDown"), before slipping back into a sensual country-shuffle,accompanied by Parish on banjo, that references Cher’s “Gypsies, Trampsand Thieves” on the optimistic “ Blind Faith” . Strange Sunshineis a record of highlights where tales of broken hearts and tumultuousrelationships have never sounded so sassy, yet at the same time soseductively heartwrenching—quite an achievement in itself.
