CHARLESTON, S.C. -- Avant-Americana duo Megan Jean and the KFB is self-releasing it’s second full-length album, The Devil Herself, March 1, 2013 at the Tinroof in Charleston, South Carolina on their label Guts and Know How Records. This will be vocalist/instrumentalist Megan Jean Klay and multi-instrumentalist Byrne Klay's third studio release following 2010's full-length Dead Woman Walkin’ and their 2007 debut EP Autumn which was released under the name The Klay Family Band.

The Devil Herself is comprised of eleven new tracks written by the duo over the course of a 22-month, 450-date American tour, focusing on the vibrant music scene of the Southeast. The album was recorded in four days by Zac Thomas at the Jam Room in Columbia, S.C., and funded through a successful Kickstarter campaign.

"The devil is wherever we seek it out. We tend to see those lifestyles we can't or won't understand as a kind of possession, the devil's hand upon their heart, guiding and claiming them," says Megan Jean. "If we look too hard, that moral standard becomes too much for anyone. They end up the devil themselves."

Featuring her undeniable vocals and bassist/banjoist Byrne's Klay's unmistakable visual art, The Devil Herself is at heart a tribute to the love that Jean and Klay have for each other and the music they make.

The married couple live and operate on the road full-time, playing 20 shows a month from the East Coast to the Midwest. "These Bones" off The Devil Herself is featured on an episode of Music Voyager after its live performance attracted the attention of PBS. This year it will be one of the headliner's of Floydfest alongside the Lumineers and Trampled By Turtles after winning the 2012 Under The Radar Competition.
