Devan Wardrop-Saxton

Devan Wardrop-Saxton is a songwriter and theatremaker living in Portland, OR who has yet to meet a time signature or a harmony line she doesn’t like. Originally from the City of Subdued Excitement (otherwise known as Bellingham, WA), she was raised in the Pacific Northwest folk music community and released her first solo EP in 2015. In the theatre, she works as a writer, director, and composer; her play “One Without the Other” was a 2014 National Semi-Finalist for the John Cauble Short Play Award, and she is a grateful recipient of a 2018 playwriting residency at Hungary’s D’Clinic Studios. An associate artist with new works lab String House Theatre, she currently serves on the board of the Puget Sound Guitar Workshop, is a former co-coordinator of PSGW’s Workshop Workshop, and takes every chance she can to explore other countries, languages, and musical traditions.
