Like the Sleepy's Mattress radio commercial, I just can't get Devon Sproule out of my head. The Virginia-native singer/songwriter has been making waves lately at the ripe age of 26 with her folksy jazz/country sound. And while her music rings of Applachian routes, Sproule was born a fellow Canuck on a hippy commune in Kingston, Ontario. However, some might say the combination of influences have rooted Sproule as a funky amalgamation of traditional folk, vocal jazz, and a dash of rockabilly.
Her newest album "Keep Your Silver Shined" seems to be her best work yet. It includes a rockin' ditty called "Old Virginia Block" and a more tradional folk song titled "The Weeping Willow" that features legend Mary Chapin Carpenter. At a low online price of $15, this CD is a steal. And better yet, Sproule will be opening up for Rachel Unthank this Thursday night at the Iron Horse. Get your tickets now as this seems to be another popular show. Pioneer in the Valley will be there, come say hi to Mike and Chris at the show!
Stay tuned and we will report back soon about how the show went.
