ABOUT YOUR HOST: Mike McDevitt is an award-winning Delaware-based singer/songwriter performing regularly in the quad-state area. He has toured extensively over the years, performing almost literally everywhere. His current album of original music, Delaware Bay, is a 17-song double album featuring many memorable personal songs about life and how we live it. The album has received considerable praise from both local music fans and critics and some of his songs have been heard on the radio, locally, nationally and internationally. A few of the songs have been covered by other artists as well. His songs are often described as “hauntingly beautiful and accessible chronicles of meeting life’s challenges head on, of self-discovery, of love lost, found and lost again.” His shows are surprising and memorable. Mike is a self-taught multi-instrumentalist, producer and vocalist and has a reputation as a vivid and entertaining storyteller. McDevitt’s songs tell real stories about real people. And he has “been there” himself. He is currently working on the sixth album, “Everybody.”
