“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 a folk/americana singer/songwriter based in Evergreen, Colorado. Having studied in the songwriting department at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, 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 sophomore album, Faulty Expectation, was released in November of 2022. The album features 12 songs backed by world-class musicians, Nick Milo (Joe Cocker, Tower of Power) on keyboards, Jeb Bows (Gregory Alan Isakov) on violin, and Jeff Rady on pedal steel, creating new sonic textures. The album has been well received – gaining almost 200,000 streams since release and radio play worldwide.

DeValera has played alongside Tom Rush, Willis Alan Ramsey, Daniel Rodriguez (Elephant Revival), Covenhoven, Reed Foehl, and Clay Rose (Gasoline Lollipops), and more. He has garnered praise from music legends such as Terry Allen, John Paul White, 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.”
