The Best Band Ever. Really. That's the only way to describe it.
From the dark depths of Vermont come The Devil Makes Three. Orphan siblings from Manitoba, Cooper, Lucia and Pete were taken in by a family of marmot farmers in Southern VT. Weary of the marmot farming life, the tight knit trio began singing songs of life in the old country, and eventually ran away to join a travelling medicine show. The group honed their technical skills for eight years, until in 2002 decided to quit the travelling show and strike out on their own. They rose to fame rapidly in Scandinavia where they were treated as gods, but their longing for chicken noodle soup and fine lederhosen soon brought them to California where they have lived in a cave for the past three years.

Do you have any other alternatives to getting in? We really don't want to miss it! Let us know! Thanks so much, and best of everything tomorrow!
So stoked on the show in Denver!!! Got some people to come as well that have never heard you!!Hit me up if you guys want some ink while your here- Can hook it up if its small- or give you you a great on something bigger- Let me know!!
You guys rock. Love the new album. Love to see you come to springfield, MO. If you could set up to open up for Big Smith (www.bigsmithband.com) It would be a packed house. More fans. I turn people on to your tunes as much as I can. And Im not involved with promotion just a musician who just been turned on to you guys and OCMS, Avett Brothers, etc... Could be an opportunity to make some more fans. Keep it up cant wait for the next album. Youd have to contact their folks. Good people, perfect fit.
Otherwise Ill have to make a drive to see ya live. Which I will.
