Devil Makes Three tickets

'Devil Makes Three Tickets'

'

Devil Makes Three formed in Santa Cruz, Calif., in 2002, sustaining a bit of culture shock as the members all hailed from New England. Its special blend of gospel, blues, R&B,

ragtime

, rock and roll, country,

jazz

and

punk rock

, has enabled the group to create a unique brand of Americana music. Guitarist Pete Bernhard credits the band's success to musical influences from legends like

Bob Dylan

,

Willie Nelson

, Hank Williams, Fugazi and Bob Wills, and literary figures such as Ernest Hemingway and James Baldwin. The group, made up of Bernhard, Lucia Turino and Cooper McBean, is best known for its offbeat style that embraces folk,

bluegrass

and alternative country. The trio's strength from the beginning has been touring with infectious performances that inspire energetic dancing and unbridled excitement from audiences.

'Chance Encounter'

'

It sometimes seems a minor miracle that Devil Makes Three even formed a band let alone achieved the success and diehard following that it has. While Bernhard and McBean were fairly tight in high school, they had a much more casual acquaintanceship with Turino. And when they graduated, they did not move to California together. McBean and Bernhard eventually would meet up again just north of Santa Cruz, in Olympia, where they performed several punk rock gigs as a duo. Meanwhile, Turino had moved to Santa Cruz, and when she ran into the duo in 2001, the new band Devil Makes Three was born. Its debut album,

Devil Makes Three

, arrived in 2002 and

Longjohns, Boots and a Belt

in 2003. Its most successful albums came later with

I'm a Stranger

and

Redemption & Ruin

performing best. Large numbers of tours gained them a cult following, but

Stomp and Smash

brought it invitations to the big music festivals, like the

Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival

that occurs annually.

Lucia Turino is from New Hampshire and plays the upright bass. Bernhard writes most of the band's songs and usually takes the lead on vocals accompanied by McBean. However, Turino is known to write her signature lyrics when she harmonizes with the other two.'
