The Devotionals are essentially the solo side project of
Two Gallants member
Tyson Vogel. Formed in San Francisco in 2002,
Two Gallants specialized in a kind of ragged, indie folk-rock, and released a debut album,
The Throes, in 2004 on
Alive Records, following it with a pair of albums for Saddle Creek Records, 2006’s
What the Toll Tells and 2007’s self-titled
Two Gallants, as well as the acoustic EP
Scenery of Farewell. With
the Devotionals,
Vogel works pretty much the same sort of territory, this time with the help of violinist
Anton Patzner and percussionist Jeff Blair. A debut album, the self-titled
Devotionals, was released by
Alive Records in 2010. ~ Steve Leggett
