Joy Viver; a name whose ancient origins and proper pronunciation can only be guessed, only remembered through story. When you combine something that you love to do with people that you love to be around you may well have discovered Joy Viver. In search of the mystical teachings of Joy Viver each member of the band had long ago embarked on separate quests along dusty roads, through tangled forests, upon snowy mountains. They ended up in the place where so many quests resolve, at the beginning…in a basement…writing songs of chivalry and courtly love. On your journey should you encounter these troubadours, allow your weary bones to take comfort in the healing notes of their trill.

The Crowd Scene - Melancholic pop that acknowledges life’s oblique obstacles and simple wonders.

Devin Ocampo is a Washington DC-based multi-instrumentalist, composer, and singer. Perhaps best known as the founder and singer/guitarist of a succession of fiery rock trios (Faraquet, Medications, and The Effects), he was also a member of the Mary Timony Band and is an active musician/arranger in the band Beauty Pill. Ocampo’s current main focus is his experimental, textural, contemplative solo work, which sharply departs from the noted aesthetic he cultivated as a practitioner of the rock trio form.
