The Devillies are an Irish-American band that play an eclectic mix of originals and traditional tunes and songs made for dancing, laughing, and crying. A collaboration of musicians that began in the early 2000’s when Irishman-in-exile Derek Duffy met fellow guitar player Ed Hoban on craigslist in Bellingham, Washington. The duo performed as “The Devilly Brothers” at the opening of both Uisce Irish Pub and of Kulshan Brewing and were a regular feature of the B-town scene. Soon other fantastic folk musicians were inexplicably drawn to join their music including Angus McLane on the Bass, Margaret Driscoll on the fiddle, Steven Rystrom on the whistle and mandolin, and Brian Anderson on percussion. The band renamed themselves “The Devillies” in honor of the expanded roster and Derek’s repatriation to Ireland. The Devillies are frequent performers of Irish and traditional songs in and around Bellingham, and especially at our beloved Uisce Irish Pub.
