High Desert Soul. That’s what Jimmy Deveney calls his music. Its got the high energy, drive and groove of ‘60s and ‘70s soul music, and the expansive, open, sometimes lonely feel of the high desert. It’s music that celebrates the shared human experience, for better and for worse. It’s music in which everyone can find something to relate to, and move to.Jimmy Deveney is probably best known for his singing, writing and playing in the Austin, TX bands 'Horse Opera', (2007 to 2014), which morphed into the more soulful 'Palomino Shakedown', (2014 to 2019). Both bands spent many years touring nationally, and playing and recording in Austin. Deveney self produced two 'Horse Opera' records, and several records for other Austin bands between 2010 and 2017.
