Kevin Devine is an American songwriter and musician from Brooklyn, New York, who is known for alternately introspective and political lyrics and melodic acoustic guitar tunes. He cites his influences as Bob Dylan, Elliott Smith, Guns N’ Roses, Brother Paramo and Nirvana, among others. He grew up in Brooklyn and Staten Island, and has spent significant time in Manhattan and Queens as well. Devine graduated Fordham University at Lincoln Center in 2001, majoring in journalism. He also played in an indie/punk/emo band called Miracle of 86 after the (Miracle) New York Mets. Even before that, he played with a popular band in the local Staten Island scene called Delusion. At Fordham he was able to hone his acoustic solo skills by playing at various open-mic and college events which made him very popular among the student body.
During this time he also appeared in regular stints at the Wetlands Preserve. Although still relatively unknown, Devine gained some popularity with his 2003 album, Make the Clocks Move. Newer songs reflect Devine’s political views and the recent death of his father to a stroke. He has recorded records for Immigrant Sun Records and Triple Crown Records and has worked with Brooklyn based producer Mike Skinner, who is also credited as the drummer on his solo records as well as the drummer for Miracle of 86. He signed with Capitol Records, who released his fourth album, Put Your Ghost to Rest, on October 17, 2006. Only four months after his major label debut, Devine was dropped from Capitol Records due to EMI merging Virgin and Capitol Records.

@nicks26220 @ohpete I agree that he (seems to be) is a really friendly down to earth guy. some guys I know opened for him at a show here so I was at the soundcheck. I'm not big on going up to people and bothering them when they're busy doing their thing, but as I was sitting around watching my friends rehearse he smiled at me while he was tuning his guitar. also, he was superb live.

@nicks26220, doesnt sound like bullshit at all. ive experienced similar things with other artists, and realize that theyre people, just like us. the only difference is some of them get an inflated ego.

@ohpete he really is down to earth i saw him play a show on long island n it was a real small place so i was like 5 feet away from him when he played n then i talked to him as me n my friends walked with him to this park around the block where he played some more songs for people untill we got kicked out by the cops haha. i know it sounds like bullshit but its true

@waitingforgo, i wouldnt either, since from what i hear hes really down to earth. but i acknowledge that he has other things to do with his life, unlike me, who checks the internet constantly. unfortunately im not big on shows as a whole, so ive never known far enough in advance to see/meet him.
