24-year-old Devon Mayson is an Evesham-based country singer/songwriter, who's originally from the east of England.

In 2015, she was crowned as Miss Essex, and has recently returned from a six-week European tour with Nashville's Caitlin Koch.

Influenced by Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, The Dixie Chicks and Fleetwood Mac, it was a real pleasure to welcome her to this year's Lakefest at Eastnor Castle.
