The Southern Residents – Devyn Gale
“Devyn Gale: A Folk Tribute to Courage and Sacrifice”
In the richly woven tapestry of Americana, bluegrass, and folk, emerges ‘Devyn Gale,’ a stirring new single from The Southern Residents. Available now on digital platforms, this poignant track is the first glimpse of their debut album, Folk Signals, that will drop on February 28th. Rooted in the Canadian folk tradition, this ensemble is led by Tom Taylor, whose masterfully penned lyrics capture deeply resonant stories.
The anthem ‘Devyn Gale’ is particularly poignant. It memorializes a brave Wildland Firefighter who tragically perished in Revelstoke’s fierce fires in July 2023. “I was heartbroken after reading Devyn’s story and thought she needed a folk song to celebrate her,” Taylor explains. The single not only celebrates her life but also underscores the fierce and growing threat of wildfires in British Columbia due to climate change.
With the assistance of acclaimed multi-instrumentalist Adrian Dolan and a collaboration with some of Canada’s finest musicians, The Southern Residents bring a distinctive flair to this bluegrass-tinged track. Their commitment to storytelling through music shines through with this powerful folk tribute.
