Jason DeVore

“Just open up your eyes and dream” “Hey Kid”

When Jason DeVore isn’t biting off the lyrics to a ska-punk anthem for his day job as founding vocalist of Mesa, AZ’s hometown heroes Authority Zero, you most likely will find him strumming his acoustic guitar and uncharacteristically wearing his heart on his sleeve.

Since 2006, when he self-released his first solo album, Conviction (The Smokehouse Sessions), DeVore has been working on a five-part epic that now includes 2011’s Conviction 2 (The Crooked Path) and last year’s Conviction, Volume III: The Road to Clarity.  Quite distinct from his work with AZ, the new music has mutated into a largely acoustic,  roots-oriented sound that harks back to his mother’s youngest brother, Uncle Don, who would tour fairgrounds impersonating the likes of Willie Nelson and Elvis Presley.

The latest release, Conviction, Volume III, offers the full flowering of his artistic vision, a set of songs like “I Hate To Say I Told You So” and “Black and Blue” that plumbs a personal side of DeVore he keeps hidden behind the abstract, rallying cries of his songs in Authority Zero.

Even with his packed Authority Zero touring schedule, DeVore manages to make time for his latest side project, The Deadly's, with his Dublin drummer friend Keith Walker, a Celtic-Irish pub/punk band inspired by Flogging Molly, Dropkick Murphys and The Pogues’ Shane MacGowan. Jason has also toured his solo material with the periodic Le Tour DeVore, hitting the road in a van with his wife’s brother Russ Baum and Less Than Jake’s Chris DeMakes to play around the country.
