Devon played songs from his Turquoise CD
as well as from his new album Ragged and Dirty.He closed the show with a rousing ren- dition of “One Way Out.” Devon’s talent is so amazing, his vocals are incredible and the way he makes that guitar sing, it moved the crowd, me included. Such passion, you never want the music to end. Devon is a totally gifted musician, and he sings with such soul, so bluesy, an incredible singer songwriter - he always brings it. To Devon I say this, “Thank you for a won-
derful night of music, you definitely have made yours and everyone else's dream come true.” Please come out and support this great
venue. Devon’s band will be headlining on August 13, 2015 and November 13, 2015.

Wet Willie Otis Cox Capital Theater Macon, Georgia March 27, 2015 It’s been a while since an opening act im-
pressed me the way the band Otis did when they opened for Jimmy Hall and Wet Willie in Macon. The Kentucky band, whose album was produced by Kentucky Headhunters gui- tarist Greg Martin, are a fine band. They rocked in a style very reminiscent of Gov’t Mule, and I have a gut feeling I was not the only camper there that night that was blown away by these guys. They are a band to watch, for sure. When Wet Willie hit the stage, the crowd
went nuts. After all, although they are origi- nally from Mobile, Alabama, Macon claims them after their historic tenure as one of Capricorn Records most successful recording acts during the 1970s. Onstage was lead singer Jimmy Hall, sister
Donna Hall and her son Brian Hall, who was filling in for his dad, Jack Hall, along with
the rest of Wet Willie, Ric Seymour, TK Lively, Ricky Chancey and Bobby Mobley. Right before the first song, Jimmy spoke to the crowd, dedicating the show to Macon icon Mama Louise Hudson of the H&H Restaurant and shouting “Long live Mama Louise!” which met with a thunderous uproar of ap- plause. The band kicked the evening off with “One
Track Mind,” as Jimmy strutted all around the stage, singing as great as ever. After only one song into the set it was quite apparent that this was going to be one outstanding show.
Wet Willie pulled out all the stops during
the show, dancing, singing having huge fun, and injecting a lot of humor into the show. Next came the blues staple “She Caught the Katie,” followed by my second favorite Willie song, “Street Corner Serenade,”m with teases of the ‘70’s song “Come and Get Your Love” tossed in for good measure. Bringing Ric and Donna up to the mikes
for a duet, the band tor one off on “Rock Steady.” Next up, Jimmy sang “Lonely,” and somewhere along the way ended up teasing
