<a href="https://www.facebook.com/WillisAlanRamsey/" title="https://www.facebook.com/WillisAlanRamsey/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">WILLIS ALAN RAMSEY</a> Over 50 years after the release of his wildly influential self-titled album on Leon Russell’s Shelter Records, Willis Alan Ramsey returns to touring.Ramsey’s debut in 1972 earned scores of accolades from artists ranging from The Allman Brothers to Lyle Lovett. The album was mined by many artists for their own recordings including Jimmy Buffett’s “The Ballad of Spider John”, Jimmie Dale Gilmore’s “Goodbye Old Missoula”, Shawn Colvin’s “Satin Sheets”, Captain &amp; Tennille’s “Muskrat Candlelight/Love”, Jerry Jeff Walker’s “Northeast Texas Women”, Waylon Jennings’ “Satin Sheets”, New Grass Revival’s “Watermelon Man”, and many more.Since that landmark first release, Ramsey has toured only occasionally, spending time instead with his family, honing his craft in Austin, Nashville, and London, educating himself in the science of audio recording and composing new songs.His new material has received critical acclaim, including Lyle Lovett’s recordings of “Sleepwalkin”‘, “North Dakota” and “That’s Right (You’re Not From Texas”), as well as Eric Clapton’s recording of ”Positively”.Ramsey’s infrequent personal appearances always gamer excitement among some of the top critics in the country as well as from his fellow artists:“His cozy, orderly, tiny-detail songs express a willful turnabout from hippie chaos, a visceral reaction particular to the early 1970’s. His songs are sweet, emotionally guarded and often musically complex, fitting strains of melody together that seem as if they ought not connect, expertly using rhythmic displacement as the words and chords unspool …. Perfection is terrifying, and some of these songs felt spooky.” – Ben Ratliff, The New York Times“You might have not seen him lately, but if you’ve listened to Shawn, Lyle or Jimmie Dale, you’ve heard him.” – John T. Davis, The Austin American Statesman“Even if Ramsey had made a dozen more albums, this would still be the record that no home should be without.” – No Depression“When I got his record, I loved everything on it. I heard some Flannery O’Connor and William Faulkner in there. It was a little more literary than most of the Texas stuff.” -Jimmy Buffett“Everybody owned his record when I lived in Austin. That’s because it’s great and them Texans knew it. I think Lyle’s great, but tell me he didn’t learn something from Willis.” – Shawn Colvin“I learned every song off his record. I went to see him every time he played, got tennis shoes like his. I wanted to be Willis Alan Ramsey.” -Lyle Lovett

Having studied in the songwriting department at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachussetts, DeValera is a lover of all things song. With influences such as Townes Van Zandt, John Prine, Gregory Alan Isakov, Bob Dylan, and Leonard Cohen, he appreciates great songwriting - and it shows. His devotion to his craft, both musically and lyrically, creates a listening experience that is both old and new - songs that utilize poetic imagery and tell a story while feeling fresh, but also like long-lost friends.His latest album, Faulty Expectation, was released in November of 2022, and features 12 songs backed by some of the musicians from his debut, Andreas DeValera (2018), such as Nick Milo (Joe Cocker, Tower of Power) along with new friends - Jeb Bows (Gregory Alan Isakov) on violin and Jeff Rady on pedal steel, creating new sonic textures. The album has been well received – gaining over 200,000 streams since release and radio play worldwide.DeValera has played alongside musicians such as Tom Rush, Daniel Rodriguez (Elephant Revival), Reed Foehl, Covenhoven, and Clay Rose / Gasoline Lollipops, toured with nationally renowned folk group The Riverside, and has garnered praise from music legends such as Terry Allen and Livingston Taylor.
