Also performing, Sean Devine and the Stars of Anguila. Local singer-songwriter Sean Devine, traveled to Anguilla in winter 2023, where he met legendary musician Bankie Banx. This encounter led to the creation of his new EP, "Die Happy," recorded at Anguilla Music Academy with Bankie’s band.

Talented musicians Dennis Warrington and Jaiden Fleming, from the recording band, will be joining Devine for this performance.

One Love Livingston will also feature local artist Foreshadow. Shadow Devereaux, also known as Foreshadow, is a Salish and Blackfeet hip hop artist, audio engineer, and advocate for Indigenous youth from the Flathead Indian Reservation. With over a decade of experience, he fuses cultural roots with modern hip hop to uplift and inspire, blending themes of resilience, struggle, and pride. He won a Native American Music Award in 2022 for “Protect Your People” and contributed a powerful song to the 2024 documentary “Bring Them Home,” narrated by Lily Gladstone. In 2025, he released his debut solo album, “Perfect Timing,” a bold and introspective body of work marking a major milestone in his career. Beyond the music, Shadow works alongside collaborator Colter Olmstead to teach film and music to youth on and off the reservation.
