Music from the Heart

Moving from Florida to Ireland in pursuit of musical ambitions, singer-songwriter Devin Reardon has a new surf-rock indie-anthem following his first release’s flash of originality in the indie Irish music scene. With a colorful musical background starting at Douglas Anderson School of the Arts in Florida for music and theatre, then further education in musical theatre at Florida State University's Musical Theatre program, Reardon brings strong vocals and exciting indie-pop compositions. Reardon has a passion for storytelling in his songs. From humble beginnings drumming for years in Moist Patio, then performing as a member of acclaimed collegiate Acapella group, Reverb. His experiences help create a bright vocal-saturated beach-rock inspired track squeezing the last drops of sunshine out of Irish summer.

Devin has entertained crowds in the US and Ireland with his theatrical and  multi-instrument performances. However, the pandemic was a time for this musician to regroup and  delve into his formative influences, finding a Beach Boys yet Mac Demarco-like sound with “Take Me To The Coast”.  He tells of the sound reminiscing about his younger years driving around beaches of his hometown: Saint Augustine, Florida.

Now living in the Co. Wicklow, Ireland, also called the “Garden of Ireland,” he has been reflecting in a musical garden of creativity, producing a catalogue of indie-folk hits, including his first single ‘Ireland Song’, which was met with resounding success and ample radio airtime on international stations such as Dublin South FM (IRL), Chelmer Radio (UK), and WFCF Flagler Radio (US), among others.

While trying to create a beautiful musical landscape dedicated to the never ending summer in his memories of youth, he comes to term with the bittersweetness of growing up, but how the permanence of the beach brings him peace as he gets older. Reardon continues to win the embrace of  fans from Ireland, the US, the UK, and other  countries around the world. Many say on social media they eagerly await the launch of a full album in 2022. From what is on display, only good things can be expected from this musician’s unique sound, which channels the funky soul of his beachside hometown in Florida.

His new single "Take Me to The Coast" is a nostalgic indie-folk psychedelic summer song inspired by Reardon’s upbringing on beaches of Florida’s East coast. The song features the decorated broadway singer-actor Katerina McCrimmon in a lovely duet with Reardon.  Accompanying the two musicians is Josh Hackett on electric guitar/bass and Tadhg O’Griffin on the singing organ.This bluesy track smells of the sunshine but there's a palpable sadness that something has to end in order for something else to begin.

"Worked hard for the week

 It’s time to drive on down the street

Lazy in the sand

Please don’t ever let go of my hand "
