I had been performing live for so long that I wanted to capture that vibe. “When we met, I was really looking for a new way to make a studio record. “It’s sort of where I feel I still am artistically,” DeVoe says. That vision, she says, includes reflecting more of the artist she has become in her live shows, which is why when DeVoe performs Saturday for the first time at The Acorn Theater, the bulk of her set list will pull from those three Parish-produced albums. He’s been so great at getting down audibly what I envision.” He’s very intuitive and very present and really keeps you on task. The first time we worked together, he made me write everything out, which I had not done to that point. He’s definitely trying to get your vision down. “He’s not out to make a record that sounds like him. “He’s a very artist-friendly producer,” DeVoe says. Like 2004’s “Fireworks & Karate Supplies” and 2009’s “Strange Sunshine,” DeVoe traveled to Bristol, England to record “Radiator.” Stewart’s donation helped DeVoe once again tap producer John Parish, best known for his work with PJ Harvey, Tracy Chapman and The Eels, to work on what would become their third project together. He is a very sweet person and a good-hearted soul.” We couldn’t believe just how generous he was. He actually gave to us after we met our goal, which meant even more to me because he gave more than anybody. We did a few different events together and I performed for his charity events. He also had given money to adopt like six of these horses and that’s where our connection began. “There was a lady who heads up his charity division who called me up one day because I was playing a benefit concert for a thoroughbred horse rescue. “I never was a huge NASCAR follower, but he’s a very philanthropic guy,” DeVoe says by phone from her home in Indianapolis.
