The Devil Makes Three

Based in Santa Cruz, California, The Devil Makes Three comprises Pete Bernhard (vocals, guitar), Cooper McBean (guitar) and Lucia Turino (double bass). Resurrecting country, folk and bluegrass in an alternative version, the group, which includes two former members of punk bands, produced a self-produced debut album in 2002, followed two years later by Longjohns, Boots and a Belt and the live recording A Little Bit Faster and a Little Bit Worse (2006). Since then, the trio, which has enjoyed great success in concert, has signed with Milan Records, a label specializing in film soundtracks, which reissued the first album in 2007. Ranked at No. 7 in the bluegrass charts, it sparked a craze for subsequent releases Do Wrong Right (2009) and Stomp and Smash (live, 2011), which reached No. 1. Thereafter, the band, now with New West Records, never leaves the top three positions in the specialist charts with I'm Stranger Here (2013), Redemption & Ruin (2016), Chains Are Broken (2018) and Live at Red Rocks (2019). Back after the Covid-19 pandemic, The Devil Makes Three collaborate with producer Ted Hutt on the album Spirits (2025).
