Pete Bernhard, frontman of folk/blues/ragtime/rock ‘n’ roll trio “The Devil Makes Three” in a rare, solo, acoustic show. Growing up in a small community in southern Vermont in a family rife with musicians, Bernhard was first drawn to traditional blues, but also studied the style and aesthetics of music traditions like New Orleans R&B and country. He headed west as a young man, first to Nashville, then on to Washington, and finally to Santa Cruz, CA where he formed “The Devil Makes Three” with fellow Vermonters Lucia Turino and Cooper McBean. Pete has three solo records released on his own label Kahn Records.

This show is all ages. DOORS OPEN AT 7PM AND MUSIC BEGINS AT 8.
