Hailing from Saint-Étienne, Devil Jo has been a mainstay in the music scene since their formation in 2008. With a reputation for delivering electrifying performances and genre-defying sound, the band continues to push the boundaries of rock and roll while staying true to their roots. With "Rising," Devil Jo invites listeners to experience the next chapter in their musical journey—a chapter filled with soulful melodies, infectious rhythms, and a modern edge that sets them apart.

With blues rhythms, lively boogie-blues, a smoothly rounded rhythm section, and two perfectly synchronized guitarists, Devil Jo and The Backdoormen proved, on Friday, May 13, 2022, at the MJC de Morlaix, that they formed a collective of pure energy, led by the powerful voice of Sarah. The 60 spectators, as attentive as ever at the MJC, pushed their chairs aside to better sway to the music! It was the fabulous quintet's final concert. Given the finesse of their performance and the musical quality, it is almost certain that they will grace the stage of the MJC again with other projects.
