DEBRA DEVI - 7:30 PM

If you love “dreamy blues/rock and blistering psychedelic jams” (Relix), you’re in for an exciting ride with Debra Devi and her powerhouse band. Devi blends soulful vocals with expressive, soaring guitar work that’s earned her comparisons to Ana Popovic, Samantha Fish and Susan Tedeschi.
American Blues Scene calls Devi “one of today's top female blues/rock guitarists.” JamBase says she’s "a supersonic fret-burner who also writes hauntingly memorable songs." Vintage Guitar praises Devi’s “Hendrix-style jams and atmospheric slide guitar.”
Her live EP Jamification Station Vol. 1 captured her at full throttle, hitting #5 on the Relix/Jambands.com radio chart and staying on there for three months. She’s one of just a few guitarists invited to endorse Homestead Amps, joining names like Warren Haynes and Jimmy Herring.
Hailing from Jersey City, NJ, Devi’s band is Kevin Jones on bass, John Roccesano on drums and Brian Rigby on keys. Devi’s passion for the blues inspired her to write The Language of the Blues: From Alcorub to Zuzu (foreword by Dr. John), which won the ASCAP Deems Taylor Award.
THE OUTCROPS -8:30 PM
https://www.theoutcrops.com/
Deep in the woods of Northern New Jersey, The Outcrops have emerged as a force to be reckoned with. This tight-knit group of musicians weaves together the soulful sounds of blues, the infectious rhythms of funk and soul, and the electrifying energy of rock'n'roll, creating a sonic experience that had them named "Band of the Year" (Aquarian, 2020).
At the core of The Outcrops are the dynamic duo of Bryan Schroeder and Cassidy Rain. Bryan, with his searing lead guitar, effortlessly weaves intricate melodies that fall somewhere between the soulful prowess of Derek Trucks and the transcendent vibes of Jerry Garcia. Cassidy brings real and raw powerhouse vocals that fans have compared to artists like Bonnie Raitt, Susan Tedeschi, & Grace Potter, as well as her rhythmic guitar work that is in constant conversation with the band.
The Outcrops play music with heart. They have dug their roots into the music of rock'n'roll, blues, funk, and soul legends. Within their show, they often pay homage to artists such as BB King and Aretha Franklin, and bands such as The Grateful Dead and The Band. Their original music stems from that same soulful soil, ranging from gritty blues to upbeat Americana. The Outcrops just recently won the North Jersey Blues Society's Blues Challenge, and will be headed to the official IBC in Memphis in 2026.
