Formed in early 2007, and based in Milwaukee, WI - Perry Weber & The DeVilles have quickly made a name for themselves in the Blues/Roots world.
Weber is best known for backing up Harmonica legend, Jim Liban [Johnny Winter, David Allen Coe] Perry has also worked closely with such names as The Legendary Blues Band, and Hubert Sumlin [Howlin Wolf, Muddy Waters]. In May 2007 he launched Perry Weber & The DeVilles.
The band also features phenom Kyle Jester on Guitar & Vocals. The San Diego native spent 4 years working alongside the great Candye Kane, and has also backed up such luminaries as James Harman, Jr. Watson, and members of The Paladins.
Rounding out the rhythm section is Joel Packer on Bass, and Victor Span on drums. These two have performed/toured/recorded with the likes of: James Cotton, Bryan Lee, Vance Kelly, Kenny Wayne Shepard, Big Time Sarah, RJ Mischo, and Nick Moss - just to name a few!!
The groups debut release "Savage Beauty" was released in May 2007, and recieved regional & national praise from several Blues/Roots publications, as well as peaking at #14 on the Living Blues charts that Summer.
The follow up release, "The Riot Act" was released in June 2009 - and picked up right where "Savage Beauty" left off.... More great reviews, and peaked at #15 on the Living Blues charts that Summer. The CD also features Blues icon, Barrelhouse Chuck on Piano.
In a genre becoming watered-down, and flooded with amateurs, PW & The DeVilles are a breath of fresh air!
