Life experiences, growth, reinvention, as well as furthering his musical abilities as songwriter and multi-instrumentalist has remained one of the driving forces in DeVita’s work. From Hardcore Punk to Jazz, Joe presents a wide cast of characters with very singular narratives, attempting to introduce the listener to ideas from all walks of life.
Benjamin Lamb a home grown native East Tennessean with an old soul and roots deeper than any holler. Singer, songwriter keeps to his roots of ol’ Appalachian, camp fire, front porch picking, southern Baptist story telling like you’ve never heard. Stories of LIFE! A life he’s lived with hard times, good times and everything in between. A “have to listen to” artist guarantees listeners will relate to one or more stories of a life. A definite go to for some hollers from a holler!! While it’s hard to catch him action at the moment (besides TikTok) he’s currently a full time blue collar factory time puncher, family farm hand, homesteader, husband and father. But with the support from his “southern belle” wife and children, Benjamin Lamb’s music has been “racing like a forest fire” – Ginseng Grave
