Devon Gilfillian joins host Stephen Kallao

Originally from Philadelphia, he moved to Nashville and caught our ears with his social consciousness, rootsy melodies and soulful grooves. Devon returns to the show for a mini concert, playing songs from his latest album, a kaleidoscopic blend of rock, blues, soul, pop and country called Time Will Tell.
