Fifth-generation Montanan and seasoned songwriter Sean Devine has seen his share of the ups and downs of life. Between writing his first song at age eight about his parents’ divorce, a cou- ple of marriages of his own, an unfruitful stint in New York City’s 90s folk scene, and a business- threatening recession, Devine learned how to take it on the chin, eventually finding traction in Rocky Mountain clubs, selling copies of his first album from the backseat of his Buick. Devine’s reckoning with roadblocks and backsteps has manifested itself not in pessimism, but in a beautiful outlook on how to take it all on, as is very apparent on his brand new album Here for It All – out September 3rd. “Here for It All means being here for the inevitable heartbreaks and the sorrow that will come with life, no matter what,” Devine says. “You’re not going to avoid it and you’re not going to hide from it. You have to be in this with your whole heart, right? It’s that feeling of staying open and taking the risks that really matter.” Produced by Josh Thompson (Cody Jinks), the eloquent project provides a firsthand account of second chances, showing up, and seeing it through. Cowboy Lifestyle Network noted of the album’s title track, “Sean brings an easy listening country sound to the music scene that makes you feel.” “This song is about how it feels after you’ve been blind-sided, knocked on your ass hard, humili- ated, and you reach your hand up and someone is there,” says Devine. “What happens next could be the transfiguration you didn’t know you were looking for.” Although Devine sequenced the nine songs on Here for It All himself, its cohesive narrative may be partially credited to Thompson, who mined a folder of twenty six unrecorded – and sometimes completely forgotten – compositions to produce the record. “Everyone gets knocked down and beat up by life sometimes, and you have to get back up and go on. This album is about finding a way forward and bringing your past with you. You don’t really start over. You start again with everything you have in you and build your life out of that. You’re likely to do better because you are better. And, hey, good luck!” Learn more about Devine and access to the new release at www.seandevinemusic.com. •
