Devon Gilfillian has been a key artist fulfilling the promise of a New Music City - a Nashville that’s been welcome to the widest ever range of genres, influences and innovations. He came to town with no contacts and a job with AmeriCorps in 2013. But before very long he’d landed a major label deal and national radio hits - all with an iconoclastic take on soul, funk and Americana. His newest album - his second for the prestigious Fantasy Records - is a beautiful grooving swirl called Time Will Tell.
