The Devil Makes Threes's Frontman/Guitarist Pete Bernhard is best known for his unbridled, barn-burning performances and driving roots, rock and bluegrass sound. He hails from a small community in southern Vermont with a family rife with musicians. His father was a singer and songwriter, his brother attended Berklee School of Music, and his aunt was a local folk musician. Immersed in music at a young age, he was drawn to older, traditional finger picking blues and folk music. With the release of his third solo album Harmony Ascension Division (Kahn) he is now showing a whole other side to the story. Featuring nine original unreleased tracks, the new record is described by Bernhard as a “folk album that gave me a chance to worship some of my heroes” and one that he says is deeply personal. www.petebernhard.com
MorganEve Swain uses only her voice and arsenal of stringed instruments to create music from experience. She was a member of the band, Brown Bird, with her husband David Lamb until he passed on 2013. Brown Bird was an incredible folk band that toured regularly with Devil Makes Three. Informed not only by the loss of her husband and musical partner, Dave Lamb, to leukemia in April 2014 but also by their life together, Swain pulls from the Lamb/Swain duo Brown Bird’s pool of influence, determined to uphold a legacy while creating new music which she hopes is strong and universal. After David's passing she became the leader of The Huntress and Holder of Hands, she toured often as upright bass player for The Devil Makes Three, and was a vocalist, fiddler and violist for various other projects. Off the road, she works as a violin technician repairing instruments and bows at her two home workshops. http://brownbird.net/the-huntress/
