Originally introduced to bluegrass radio from the band’s acclaimed GIVE IT ALL AWAY album cycle, “Devil In Me” now returns in an entirely new form — darker, grittier, and reimagined with outlaw intensity. This exclusive alternate version appears only on the upcoming GIVE IT ALL AWAY Deluxe Collection, giving fans a bold new perspective on one of the band’s most emotionally charged songs.

Driven by swampy grooves, haunting vocal textures, electrifying instrumentation, and raw emotion, “Devil In Me” featuring Liam St. John, showcases DownRiver Collective’s fearless approach to genre-blending storytelling. The track is elevated even further with a powerful guest appearance from acclaimed roots-rock vocalist Liam St. John, whose unmistakable voice adds a fiery edge to the already explosive arrangement.

“We always felt like this song was multidimensional,” shares the band. “The original version carried the bluegrass energy we love, but this reimagined cut allowed us to lean into the grit, soul, and emotional tension hiding underneath. Bringing Liam St. John into the mix completely transformed the atmosphere of the track.”

Known for carving out a sound that lives somewhere between progressive bluegrass, Americana, folk, and modern roots rock, DownRiver Collective has rapidly become one of the most talked-about acts in acoustic music. The award-winning group continues to build momentum following their IBMA Momentum Band of the Year (2024) honors, Ali Vance’s Momentum Vocalist of the Year (2025) win, and a breakout season of festival appearances across the country.

With “Devil In Me,” the band once again proves they are unwilling to be confined by genre expectations — delivering a cinematic, high-voltage anthem that feels equally at home in the bluegrass world and the roots-rock underground.

“Devil In Me,” featuring Liam St. John releases worldwide on May 15th and will be available on all major streaming platforms as part of the GIVE IT ALL AWAY Deluxe Collection. Fans can catch the band live this year onstage at notable Festivals including the 60th Annual Bill Monroe Bluegrass Festival, AFBA Bluegrass Festival at Wind Gap, Fly In Festival, Podunk Bluegrass Festival, Route 23 Festival, Mohican Bluegrass Festival, and many more.
