Our new album 'Spirits' is out now! The Devil Makes Three, formed in Santa Cruz, California in 2002, blends ragtime, country, folk, and punk. Founded by childhood friends Pete Bernhard and Cooper McBean, the band’s unique sound combines Delta blues, prohibition-era jazz, and bluegrass with a punk edge. Their seven studio albums explore themes of struggle, freedom, and resilience, often addressing darker topics with humor and relatability. Known for their raw, minimalist approach, their live shows create a powerful communal experience. Despite lineup changes, including the addition of MorganEve Swain, The Devil Makes Three remains dedicated to authenticity and storytelling. Their 2025 release will continue this legacy, maintaining relevance by merging traditional influences with a modern twist. www.thedevilmakesthree.com https://thedevilmakes3.set.bio/
