Devon More Music
Overview
Silky-voiced singer-songwriter and multi-instrumental musician with an extensive catalogue of infectious originals and uniquely reimagined cover songs, Devon is a one-woman tour de force - layering together musical arrangements on a loop station using electric guitar, flute, glockenspiel, hand percussion, and more! A magnetic stage presence equipped with both side-splitting humour and poignant banter, Devon's sets can be tailored to suit the mood and message of your event: request melodic background music, or invite her to combine themed songs and stories in a show format that feels like a rock'n roll TED Talk. Highly recommended for corporate functions and community-building functions.

October 30, 2023Review of Devon More
I had the pleasure of working with Devon when she was selected to be part of an artist residency to create a new collaborative work in the spring of 2022 at Eighth & Eight Creative Spaces (part of the Massey Complex) in New Westminster, BC. This residency resulted in a performance of a new work, Live Wires that featured music by Devon Moore, plus dance and projections. Not only was Devon's performance excellent she was professional, reliable, easy to communicate with and more than exceeded our expectations for the project. I am more than happy to recommend hiring Devon for an event!

October 30, 2023A massive talent
I've seen Devon More perform in person several times, concert style, theatre performance, solo act.
Every time I see her I am blown away by her musical talents. She is so charming and warm and is really an incredible story teller. Listening to her music is where you want to be; warm, chill and in a thoughtful and engaged frame of mind.

October 23, 2023Wonderful Performer
Devon has been on storytelling and comedy shows that I have produced. She has a very unique style and is able to blend her music, story, and humour to give all types of audiences a wonderful experience. She is also able to customize her performance for your event. She is great to work with.

Devon is a pleasure to work with on the booking and contracting side of things--quick to respond and provides great marketing assets. The audience loved her heartfelt, funny & delightfully quirky performance. A really good musician with great audience interactive skills. Highly recommend.

October 18, 2023Consistently Excellent Performances
Devon has performed her own stories-with-music in Salmon Arm for nearly a decade after we fell in love with "Berlin Waltz" and with Devon at one of Shuswap Theatre's first mini fringe-type festivals. She often sells out in this small town. She brings a keen eye for human nature, including her own, a unique ability to create solo a multi-instrumental/vocal kind of music and a wonderfully ironic sense of humour. Highly recommend Devon for any live theatre market.

What to expect
It's hypnotic to watch as Devon layers together multi-instrumental musical arrangements using her pedal-powered loop station, electric guitar, flute, glockenspiel, assorted hand percussion, vocal harmonies, and a few FX tricks. Her set list includes both catchy originals and unique cover songs, and she will alternate between live-looped toe-tappers and pared down ballads on guitar (or ukulele) for texture and variety. Devon loves to interact with her crowd and is known for incorporating banter and anecdotes that make her concerts feel like they have a satisfying storyline.
About
Singer-songwriter, multi-instrumental musician, captivating storyteller, and genre-bending performance artist - Devon More will cater her song choices and stage presence to suit the atmosphere of your event.
Best known for her captivating 'one-woman cabarets', Devon has toured her critically acclaimed collections of original songs and stories to festival stages across the country, and schools across the province. While her original tunes muse on themes of wanderlust, revolution, and love, Devon's covers tend to be cleverly reimagined classic songs. A globetrotting polyglot with a knack for combining insightful lyrics with infectious melodies, Devon More's artistic background includes classical-training as a flautist, a university degree in Theatre, and 3+ years' cutting her creative teeth in Berlin, Germany.
As guitarist and vocalist, she fronted the East Van-based punk pop power trio, Hang Lucy. Her full-length solo album, Sky Is Falling, arrived on streaming platforms earlier this year on the unlikeliest of days: February 29th, 2024.
Devon grew up on ʃəˈhwɛpəm (Secwépemc) territory, and now lives and creates as a grateful guest on unceded Coast Salish territory ancestral to the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), səl̓ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), & qiqéyt (Qayqayt) First Nations.
