George DeVore | 30 Years of Austin Music, Songwriting & Double Trouble

Send us Fan Mail George DeVore is an Austin, Texas singer-songwriter and guitarist whose distinctive voice, honest songwriting and energetic performances have made him a longtime fixture in the Austin music scene. Originally from the Midwest, DeVore spent five years touring the club circuit as lead singer and guitarist for Fat Bertha before making the move to Austin in 1994. It didn't take long for Austin to notice. Soon after arriving, DeVore won “Best Tape” at the Austin Music Awards and went on to receive recognition in categories including rock, pop and male vocalist. His combination of rock, Americana, folk and acoustic-driven songwriting has taken him onto legendary Austin stages including Antone's, Stubb's and the Saxon Pub. Over the years, DeVore has built a reputation around a gritty, immediately recognizable voice and a live performance style that once led Playboy to describe him as a “Pop-Powerhouse.” His recorded work includes releases such as Wonderland, Four Under Par and the 2010 EP Simple Things. More recently, DeVore provided vocals for Austin guitarist and songwriter Harry Bodine's 2024 project Muddy Junction. George's history also reaches into some fascinating corners of Texas music. In 2001, he stepped in as lead singer with Double Trouble, the band forever associated with Stevie Ray Vaughan, during a tour that summer. Byron Duffin caught up with George at the Braun Brothers Reunion in Challis, Idaho, for a conversation about his journey, songwriting, Austin's legendary music community and a career built around playing music on his own terms.
