Showcasing her own brand of acoustic Indie Pop/Folk, Borders musician Devin Casson has hit the Scottish live music scene with dynamic sets of self penned originals. From her start as an up-and-coming artist playing at Mac Arts ‘Incubator Sessions’, Devin is an alumna of the ‘Hit the Road Dec 2023’ tour and winner of Martin Guitar x Guitarguitar ‘Unleash the Artist 2024’ songwriting competition.
Over the last few years, Devin has played support to various touring musicians, including picking up the main support slot on a national run of shows with legendary Scottish band Del Amitri. She has also taken to the stage opening for the likes of Brooke Combe, Tom Clarke (The Enemy) and Cammy Barnes at venues across the country.
In 2024, Devin began collaborating with Haiver (featuring Billy Kennedy of Frightened Rabbit), co-writing and featuring on their debut single “Better”. The track received its first spin on BBC Introducing Scotland, where Devin was praised as having “one of Scotland’s most interesting new rock voices”.
Drawing inspiration from artists such as Taylor Swift and Damien Rice, the 20 year old up and coming singer-songwriter is certainly making her mark with her melodic guitar driven songs and inventive acoustic sound. Through her combination of clever lyricism and deft guitar playing, Devin has crafted a unique tone within her songwriting, resonating with audiences and creating an entertaining and emotionally evocative live atmosphere.
This year sees Devin set to perform on festival stages across the country, including Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival and Live in Loch Goil.
