Devin began his musical career opening for Townes Van Zandt, and spent the day with him. He got some valuable one on one time with one of the great Texas songwriters of all time. Opening spots for bands like the Dixie Chicks followed soon after. He then went on as the lead singer/songwriter/ guitarist of Fort Worth’s notorious Hillbilly Café. A neo-rockabilly band, they released four albums. The band won several Fort Worth music awards including Best Country and Best Rock and Roll Band as well as Band of the Year. Several Rockabilly legends asked the band to back them up, including Gene Sommers, Mac Curtis, and Ronny Dawson, and they were invited to tour with Reverend Horton Heat.
Three times Grammy nominated Pat Green was impressed enough to ask Devin to play guitar on the “Carry On” album. Legendary actor James Hong (Airplane, Seinfeld) personally asked for three of Devin's songs for his movie "Scandalous Behavior," starring him and Shannon Tweed.
