About Devin Canfield

From the resonant chords and choruses of Bruce Springsteen to the introspective nuanced musings of Pink Floyd, my musical influences have been as diverse as they have been transformative, shaping both my artistry and my life. Growing up in New Jersey with Bruce's soulful storytelling about the blue-collar experience, I found a voice that articulated the struggles and dreams of ordinary people—struggles I saw reflected in my own life and those around me. From Pink Floyd, I discovered how soundscapes could be meditative, creating space for introspection and complex emotion. These artists taught me that music can convey narratives that are deeply personal yet resonate universally.

Throughout my life, I’ve lived in Northwest New Jersey, the greater Philadelphia area, Upstate South Carolina, the Eastern Shore of Maryland, Nashville’s Music City, Ocean City, Maryland, and now the beach coast of Delaware. My musical journey has taken me through Philadelphia, South, Central and North Jersey, New York City, Asheville (NC), Greenville (SC), Charlotte (NC), Newport News (VA), and so many other places. Yet, despite all these influential locations, it’s the hills & woods, my foundational upbringing, and the cultural textures of my hometown in Northwest New Jersey that truly solidify my personal and musical DNA. The rugged landscapes and small-town expierences I grew up in remain the foundation of my identity—an anchor in my ever-evolving artistic journey.

I’ve been playing music my whole life, picking up my first guitar when I was only nine. Before that, when I was only 2 years old I could sing and recite Bruce Springsteen songs, pretending to be the Bruce himself while singing through my dad's DJ equipment. By 14, I was writing my own riffs. By 18, I was in the studio recording my first song. By 22, I was recording my first album in a professional studio. I spent most of my twenties failing and trying to knock on every door and flip every stone of learning what the music industry was all about. In 2024, I launched Ridge Road Records as an independent label to release and publish my own music—driven by a mission not only to amplify my voice but also to support other artists I’ve been working with, who, like me, seek to create music with depth, authenticity, and raw honesty. Ridge Road Records represents more than just a business venture; it’s a vision for what music can be when it’s untethered from commercial and corporate greed, allowing for creativity that speaks as raw as possible.

Over the years, I’ve released music under various entities—Canfield & Company and Crosstown Walkers—yet it took me until my late 20s to release music as upfront as possible under my own name, Devin Canfield. During those years, I put out numerous DIY projects—self-produced, written, engineered, and marketed entirely on my own with the help of many other talented people who supported the process. Some of those albums include Fox on Ridge, Lilies (which later became Singles), Gemini, Burning the Boat, Delmarva (Live), MH50 (Live), and my debut full-length album, For The Poor. While For The Poor featured only acoustic performances, it was a testament to my devotion to songwriting and my DIY, grassroots approach—symbolic of what Ridge Road Records stands for: a commitment to following creative instincts, no matter the challnges of life circumstances.

My music, which I like to call “Northeast Alternative,” is a sonic blend shaped by the likes of Dave Matthews Band, Bruce Springsteen, Blink-182, Angels & Airwaves, Pink Floyd, Sam Fender, Kings of Leon, The 1975, Mac Miller, CHON, James Taylor, Goo Goo Dolls, Ruston Kelly, Elevation Worship and countless others. These artists were prophetic to me—each bringing their own textures and philosophies—and I’ve woven those elements into a sound that aims to be both familiar and distinctly mine.

Beyond the technical and stylistic aspects, I am committed to exploring themes that resonate deeply with both myself and the collective human experience. Mental health, divine contemplation, and the trials and triumphs of life flow through my lyrics. My hope is that by sharing the challenges and revelations I’ve encountered, listeners may find a sense of camaraderie and understanding—an outlet. I believe music is a divinely inspired mode of communication, a channel to express what words alone cannot. For me, it’s about transcending boundaries, illuminating dark places, and offering connection and solace to those who may feel isolated in their experiences.

As I continue forward with Ridge Road Records, my vision is clear: to create records. To write and release songs. To package music in art—art that prioritizes vulnerability and truth over commercial appeal or the analytical nuances of modern culture. Every project, whether mine or another artist’s, is an opportunity to honor the human experience and the artist’s ability to reflect their soul in all its complexity. I want Ridge Road Records to stand for integrity, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to the stories that deserve to be heard.

My music reflects a life lived fully and openly—a testament to the enduring power of art to heal, connect, and inspire.

Hands Down the Best

Both my wife and I are in the wedding industry professionally, and have worked over 300 weddings between the two of us. With that said, we've seen a wide variety of customer service levels when it comes to vendors, and were very picky when it came to our own wedding. I mean it when I say that Devin was absolutely incredible in every aspect. First off, he is just a great guy, and made my wife and I feel comfortable during our consultation. When it came to his musical skills, he knocked it out of the park. We gave him full creative control when it came to the acoustic guitar songs being played prior to the ceremony, and our guests commented on how fitting the tone/vibe was for the setting on our family farm in fall. I had a special song request for when my wife walked down the aisle, and Devin learned the song just for us. Hearing him play that song, and seeing my wife walk down the aisle for the first time was my most memorable moment of the entire day, and I will never forget it as long as I live. I will be recommending Devin to family, friends, and future clients of mine and give him a 5 star rating all around!

Devin is amazing!

We hired Devin to play during cocktail hour at our wedding and hands down Devin was the easiest vendor for us to work with during our entire wedding planning process. He was extremely responsive and friendly, even went above and beyond to learn songs we requested that he was unfamiliar with prior. I highly recommend Devin for any social event-. From planning to playing, he was the best! The best addition to our cocktail hour for sure! Thank you Devin for everything!

Devin created a beautiful experience for my sons wedding. He is beyond musically talented and did a very nice job with the song choices my son and daughter in law chose! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented acoustic guitar player to make for a soft, organic, lovely wedding ceremony!
