The Devil Makes Three has always thrived in the spaces between genres, where the grit of folk, the soul of blues, and the rebellious spirit of punk collide. Their music doesn’t just follow the American storytelling tradition—it redefines it. Whether evoking the deep melancholy of Delta blues or the frenetic energy of punk, their sound is raw, powerful, and unmistakably their own. For over two decades, this genre-defying trio has carved out a place in the American roots scene, delivering high-energy performances that leave audiences captivated and wanting more. They've released seven studio albums and three live recordings, with their latest, Spirits, marking a return to their stripped-down roots.

Formed in 2002 in Santa Cruz, California by Pete Bernhard and Cooper McBean, the trio, now featuring longtime collaborator MorganEve Swain (taking over on upright bass and vocals for Lucia Turino), has continued to evolve musically while staying rooted in their core sound. The Devil Makes Three has built a devoted fanbase by embracing the raw, unpolished edge of acoustic music, and their latest album, Spirits, adds yet another layer to this ever-expanding sonic palette.

The Devil Makes Three is gearing up for a national tour in February 2025 in support of the release of Spirits, reuniting with fans to share an album that feels both timely and timeless. Bernhard reflects, “We’ve always done what we wanted to do, and this album is no different. It’s a reflection of where we are now—personally and as a society—and we’re excited for our fans to hear it.”
