Devendra Banhart released his debut album The Charles C. Leary in 2002, but he was virtually off the radar until his relationship went public with actress Natalie Portman in Spring 2008 before the duo fizzled out in Fall 2008.
Since his debut album, however, Banhart continues to release and record his signature folksy-acoustic albums. In 2002, it was “Oh Me Oh My;” in 2004 it was “Rejoicing in the Hands” and “Nino Rojo;” in 2005 it was “Cripple Crow;” then “Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon” in 2007; and “What Will We Be” in 2008.
His eclectic style meshes well with his eclectic background. He was born to a Venezuelan mother and American father, and when he was two his parents divorced leaving Banhart with his mother in Venezuela. When he was 14, he moved with his mother and stepfather to California. Afterward he studied at the San Francisco Art Institute on a scholarship, lived in a predominately homosexual neighborhood in San Francisco, moved to France and back, and started his music career by playing at a gay wedding.
On March 23 and 24, Banhart is playing gigs in San Francisco and Los Angeles, respectively. No more tour dates have been announced, and his official Web site is currently undergoing construction.
