🎙️ Craic on the Coast – Episode 9: "Songs of the Heart: Declan Houton of Devri and the Power of Community"

In this heartfelt episode of Craic on the Coast, hosts Michael Schilling and Shaun Morgan sit down with beloved Irish musician Declan Houton, lead singer of Devri. They trace Declan’s journey from Donegal to the South Shore and explore how his music—and his unwavering commitment to community—has made a lasting impact.

From benefit concerts to first pitches, Declan reflects on the Irish spirit of giving back, including the incredible efforts to support the Waters family of Weymouth, first during their son Quinn’s health battle and now as Jarlath Waters faces his own medical challenges. The episode also shines a light on causes close to Declan’s heart like Tommy’s Place and Lucy’s Love Bus, two organizations bringing joy and healing to families facing pediatric cancer.

We also chat about Devri’s upcoming Hawaiian-themed boat cruise and how music continues to bring people together in times of both celebration and need.
