A Chicago based singer-songwriter armed with unwaveringly intimate lyrics & acoustically driven melodies, damsel. is a breath of fresh air on the indie folk scene.

The Devil Said Jump is a queer, Americana band from Chicago. Combining the honest storytelling of old Cowboy Country with gut-wrenching harmonies, the songwriting pair have made an ill-advised leap into the arena of Chicago’s DIY scene. They pull inspiration from artists like Brandi Carlile, The Chicks, Wet Leg, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, and Jesse Welles, writing witty, cutting lyrics that will break your heart. Their new protest song “Make Me Buy A Gun” is out everywhere now.
