That Loathsome Devil
Americana
That Loathsome Devil is a solo performer hailing from Portland, Oregon melding a blend of folk, jazz, blues, Latin and American roots music all wrapped in themes of doom and gloom. Haunting dives while haunted by ghosts of yesteryear, That Loathsome Devil was compelled, or some have whispered, possessed, by the notions of tragedy, bad luck, and troubles. With an affinity for the old ways, bred with the horrors of time, loss, and existential dread, something sprung from the deep, resulting in the tunes and woeful tales that is the amalgamation of that loathsome sound.
