“Andreas has that - "it". That something special; from his writing, guitar playing, heart-felt singing, and timing - this is someone to watch. The show filled me with joy, smiles, and yes, tears.”
-Erik Dyce (Mr. Red Rocks), former Chief Marketing Officer for Denver's Arts and Venues
Andreas DeValera is an indie singer/songwriter based in Evergreen, Colorado. 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 fellow Colorado musicians Daniel Rodriguez (Elephant Revival), 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.
“[Next to Me is] about the sweetest thing I’ve heard all year.”

“There is a richness to his voice and wisdom in his lyrics - beyond his years. The combination of tone, lyrical quality, and captivating voice come together to make something truly special.”
