The Devil Makes Three

Mixing traditional folk genres together with an almost punk rock style swagger, The Devil Makes Three is one of the most popular bands in the modern roots music revival. The three piece formed in Santa Cruz, California, deciding to utilize a raw, stripped-down instrumentation setup of just guitar, upright bass and banjo. On its 2002 self-titled debut, The Devil Makes Three displays its knack for crafting old-timey bluegrass jams full of rockabilly elements and high-energy showmanship. The trio's tales of hard drinking and soul searching have struck a chord with fans of several different genres throughout the US and beyond.
