DevSoul

When it comes to Soul, R&B, Jazz, and Hip Hop, San Antonio is probably at the end of a long list of cities such as New Orleans, Atlanta, Philadelphia, & New York. All of this is in the process of changing as DevSoul takes over the music world one show at a time.

When it comes to Soul, R&B, Jazz, and Hip Hop, San Antonio is probably at the end of a long list of cities such as New Orleans, Atlanta, Philadelphia, & New York. All of this is in the process of changing as DevSoul takes over the music world one show at a time. It all began as an idea in the mind of performing artist Ms. Devon Wilson, the bands' founder and namesake. "My vision was to create a soulful, yet sexy atmosphere within the San Antonio nightlife scene. “I grew tired of wanting to visit Houston, Austin, or Dallas to get that live music vibe. I wanted keep up what groups have started but in my own way. And that's exactly what I did," says Devon. Since DevSoul's first gig in November 2006, they have performed at local hot spots such as The Limelight, Club Antro, The Blue Room, On The Half Shell Oyster Bar, The Carver Theatre, Lackland AFB, The Venue, Madison Avenue, The Studio, The Thistle in Austin and most recently Scout Bar, Sunset Station, and Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen. At any one of their shows you can catch music lovers 18 to 88 grooving to the sounds of Chaka Khan, Beyonce, Jill Scott, Sade, Frankie Beverly & Maze, & Erykah Badu. They have opened for R&B group NEXT, Carl Thomas,neo-soul phenom Eric Roberson, and Brian Angel of Day 26. This summer she will open for the legends Rose Royce and R&B sensation Tank. DevSoul also made history as the youngest hometown soul band to ever play the Taste of New Orleans, which is the largest jazz and soul event in the city! This band works feverishly to bring you a music experience, not just another show. Devon, who is blessed with perfect pitch, loves working with no non-sensed musicians that strive for perfection on every level. This year welcomes some veteran musicians in the mix as well as some new ones to the DevSoul Family! We also have new & extraordinary background vocalists so expect some beautiful harmonies & new energy in the ambiance. Dev, as many of her fans call her, is managed by Bennie Mixon of Weight of the World Management. "Devon is a unique artist. Many do not know that she's a classically trained vocalist, dancer, & actress who studied at Texas State University- San Marcos and is a favorite at local theatres such as San Pedro Playhouse & The Carver. I have no doubts that she will use her talents as a conduit to do great things for San Antonio." DevSoul will celebrate 4 years in November and plans to make its way all across Texas and the world! Devon and the band are preparing to debut her album this fall for her faithful fans, friends, and family. "I am blessed beyond measure with these gifts," she says. "I hope you're ready to listen."
