Debra Devi & Friends

Headroom Bar & Social

Rock n Roll Swagger Defined. A Night to Remember.

The Jersey City music scene is booming--and Debra Devi is at the heart of it. Having produced two smash “JC Rocks” concerts at White Eagle Hall that brought 1500 people out to see local bands, Devi kicks off her monthly “Debra Devi &amp; Friends” showcase at Headroom with two of her faves: J Hacha de Zola and Gerry Rosenthal Trio. 7:30 pm - Gerry Rosenthal Triowww.facebook.com/gerryrosenthalmusicLively and rocking, Gerry Rosenthal Trio mines Americana, folk and blues, drawing comparisons to Mumford and Sons, Punch Brothers, and Ben Folds. The Trio is Gerry Rosenthal from Big Wake on acoustic guitar and lead vocals, Jack Breslin on upright bass and Sean-David Cunningham on violin, rounding out Gerry's songs with 3-part harmony and free-wheeling improvisation.. Check out the trio's 2019 EP First. 8:30 pm – J Hacha de Zolawww.fanaticpromotion.com/jhachadezola-inJ Hacha De Zola is a hyper-creative musical force who hit numerous "Best of 2019" lists with his LPs, EPs, and iconoclastic covers of pop songs. Stereo Embers describes J's sound as "a dark and swinging blend of jagged jazz, back alley blues and deliciously demented carnival stomp" and calls him "one of the most important and singular artists making music today." Such raves are establishing this "Urban Junkyard" artist as “a wild man in the vein of such fire-breathing artists like Screamin’ Jay Hawkins and Captain Beefheart" (Paste). 9:30 pm - Debra Deviwww.debradevi.comJamBase calls Debra Devi "a supersonic fret-burner with a deep feel for the blues who writes also hauntingly memorable songs.” Her new EP, A Zillion Stars Overhead (March 2020) includes Gov’t Mule’s Jorgen Carlsson on bass. Urban Politico says, "vocally, Devi is a dead ringer for Sheryl Crow. Her music radiates infectious joy, reminding us of The Black Crowes, Prince, and Little Feat." Live, adds New York Music Daily, "Devi leads a ferocious band equally adept at sprawling psychedelic jams and terse, soulful rockers."
