King of My Living Room returns!

From http://www.devonsproule.com

Together.
On stage.
Simultaneously.
One night.
Two shows.
With lots of beer.
And furniture.

So says the website and so it will be. This Friday, November 30th at the Gravity Lounge in Charlottesville -- King of My Living Room returns!

The show features myself, current house guest Danny Schmidt, permanent house mate Paul Curreri, fatherly Browning Porter, motherly Jan Smith, struttin' Stratton Salidis, skinny-ass Lance Brenner, many-worded Brady Earnhardt, potty-mouthed Jeff Romano, and rockingly hair-cutted Joia Wood. These folks are also, conveniently enough, all tremendous musicians.

There will be two shows -- 7pm and 10:30pm. $15 for one show / $25 for both. The late show bonus is each of us performing a drawn-from-the-hat song of each other's. All proceeds go to the Gravity Lounge, to assist in its valiant effort to bring great
emerging artists to Charlottesville.

On December 11th, I'll be co-billing with Paul Curreri at Jammin Java in Vienna, VA. It's a lovely place, with splendid chili, and as long as y'all keep coming back, we can too. Please join us!

Finally, to close the year for ol' Dev -- Wednesday, December 12, I'll be helping my good friend Keith Morris release his wonderful new record Songs From Candyapolis (City Salvage Records) at the Gravity Lounge in Charlottesville. A handful of we friends will play our versions of a few Keith's songs to start out the evening, then join him and his band for his set (as we did on the record). I'm very proud to say that 'Songs From Candyapolis' is one of my favorite CDs... and that ain't just in the friend category!

Thanks for lending an ear. Hope to see y'all soon.

Devon

CANDYAPOLIS RAVES:

"Few artists could walk you through the varied nooks and neighborhoods of Candyapolis and make them real, in all their grime and glory, and breathe them to life, without somehow stealing away their magic. Keith Morris leads this tour like a true street hustler/spirit guide."

- Danny Schmidt, Songwriter

"Keith Morris is an extraordinary songwriter. 'Billie Weir's Dress,' in which he is joined by the remarkable Devon Sproule, is a beautiful song, as dreamlike and riveting as the best works of Leonard Cohen and Vic Chesnutt....Songs From Candyapolis is an accomplished and ingeniously produced album, with a great variety of songs and styles. Morris is a born artist with unlimited potential and a songwriter to keep an eye on."

- Freddy Celis Rootstime

"I thoroughly love this album. Voice, songs, production--all classic. I was engaged at first listen. It sounds like Ryan Adams fronting some kinda alt-country-Leonard Cohen-introspective-grandeur combo (and I mean that in the best possible way.) He's onto something."

- Shannon Wells, Charlottesville Daily Progress

"Songs From Candyapolis is one of those albums you must give complete attention to in order to fully appreciate, and which reveals itself little by little. I think of 'Billie Weir's Dress' and 'Little Cameron' and their piercing melodies, of 'Candy Apples' with its impeccable guitar... [These songs] are little marvels... Happy discoveries!"

- Jacques Eric Legarde, Crossroads Magazine, France
