6/4: The Devil Makes Three @ SOUTHPAW
After a string of successful solo dates, Pete Bernhard
joins up with the rest of The Devil Makes Three to announce
a new run of never ending tour dates that will take them from
the West Coast to the Midwest to Canada, playing with Merle Haggard and at Bonnaroo!
And they’re just getting started…
The Devil Makes Three have recorded their episode for the first season of
IFC’s Dinner With the Band, set to air on May 4!
Episodes with Sharon Jones, YACHT, Les Savy Fav, Final Fantasty and Kid Sister & Flosstradamus

are in store for the Devil Makes Three.

Quotes and Quotes
Venus.zine- 5 out of 5
“The Santa Cruz–based threesome borrows elements of ragtime, country, folk, and rockabilly music and approaches them with a fiery punk rock proclivity, creating a modern but true reflection of vintage American blues.”
Under the Radar: 7 out of 10
“…like the best bourbon, Do Wrong Right will go down smooth, and then help to steer the rest of your day”
Eastern Surf Mag
“Punk-tinged, whiskey-fueled, old-timey/bluegrass/ragtime blend from this percussion-less Santa Cruz, CA, trio. Charmingly ragged vocal harmonies and a legendary live show only add to the band’s allure.”
Flavorwire
“The Devil Makes Three play a tongue-in-cheek form of American roots music, bucking genre conventions with lyrics that trend toward atypical subjects like crack abuse and getting your picture taken with the Four Horsemen.”
Nice one Dennis…
From “The Johnny Cash Show,” September 30, 1970. As Mr. Hopper points out prior to the reading of the poem, “if” is the middle word in life. Woah.
