The Devil Makes Three is coming back, and they’re not stopping at one night. The beloved Santa Cruz folk trio has booked a two-night stand at Higher Ground in South Burlington, Vermont — April 19 and April 20, 2026 — and if you know this band, you already know both nights are worth your time.
Doors open at 7:00 PM, showtime is 8:00 PM for Night 1 on Sunday, April 19. Night 2 follows the next evening, Monday, April 20, at the same venue.
Pete Bernhard, Lucia Turino, and Cooper McBean have spent years building one of the most devoted followings in American roots music. Their sound is a raw, high-energy collision of folk, bluegrass, country, and ragtime — music that feels like it came from a different era but hits with the urgency of something alive right now. Bernhard’s ragged guitar work, McBean’s banjo runs, and Turino holding down the low end: it’s a deceptively tight three-piece that can fill a room and shake it.
Albums like I’m a Stranger Here and Do Wrong Right established the band as more than just a touring act — they write songs that stick. Crowd favorites like “Gracefully” and “Old Number 7” are the kind of songs people sing along to without realizing they’ve memorized every word.
The band stepped back from touring for a period, which made their return all the more anticipated. Reunion shows tend to carry a particular energy — the crowd grateful, the band hungry — and The Devil Makes Three is the kind of act that feeds off that.
Higher Ground is one of the premier mid-size music venues in the Northeast, and a two-night run there signals real demand. If one night sells out before you move on it, the other won’t last long either.
Tickets for Night 1 (April 19) are on sale now. Grab them before this run disappears.
