Kevin Devine is one of those people whose company you can never quite get enough of. A prolific New York-based singer-songwriter, he's spent over two decades crafting songs that hit you squarely in the chest, with a gift for reminding us of how personal everyday life can be. Rather than discussing a new record or the usual goings-on of an artist's career, this is largely the two of us catching up, while also stopping the other from yelling at the clouds. That last part is because we talk about feeling disillusioned with the music world, where social media feels like a perpetual clusterf**k, and the importance of not allowing all that doom and gloom to get the better of you and your friends.
Because if there's one thing this conversation reminded me of, it's that there's still plenty of hope to be found in each other, and Kevin is a pretty wonderful reminder of that.
