Quinn Deveaux and the Blue Beat Review at BERGAMOT ALLEY

The mid-century blues + jazz scene is revived with Quinn Deveaux and his Blue Beat Review. Playing such festivals as Outside Lands, Joshua Tree and Live Oak Fest, this man knows how to get people moving. Add that factor to the humble Bergamot Alley big stage and you have yourselves a jig-a-thon of rug cutting proportions.

Reviews:
He calls his music "blue beat." But what comes out when Quinn DeVeaux hits the mic might as well just be called joy. The Indiana native distills decades of American blues, country, soul, and gospel into a funky sound that feels as authentic as it does refreshing. With a voice smoother than a top-shelf single malt, he lends a convincing swagger to classic songs about love and loss...DeVeaux has a joyous sound all his own.

Good ol' rock 'n' roll has its place, sure, but isn't always known for its "ahem" musicianship. That being said, it's great to hear such musically sound tight-knit in-the-pocket jazztastic ensemble demonstrate some solid chops. Another group whose appeal will span generations.

"Every so often something comes across my desk that not only causes me to pick my jaw off the floor, but reminds why I began this effort. I don't know Quinn Deveaux, but something inside of me implicitly resonates with what he is doing. This is one of those rare artists that reminds us that the essence of human soul is alive and well and living, in its most visceral form, in new independent music."
