About

DEAD LETTER DEVILS.
Ever since their inception in Galway, Ireland, the Dead Letter Devils have been delivering punchy, high-energy performances that electrify audiences and gets them on their feet. By blending elements of blues, bluegrass, folk, rock and punk, they achieve a driving sound unparalleled this side of the pond.
While the Dead Letter Devils are based in Ireland, its members do not come solely from the Emerald Isle, but from around the globe. This diversity, when fused with original lyrics and a classic lineup of guitar, upright bass, fiddle, banjo and harmonica, is exactly what gives the group such an exciting, unique flavor.
