Pete Bernhard and MorganEve Swain

  • Billsville House Concerts Manchester Center, VT, 05255 (map)

Pete Bernhard is the main singer and songwriter for the band The Devil Makes Three. After Covid 19 put a hold on the bands touring schedule Pete started exploring playing solo and released a record on Kahn Records, the label owned and operated by The Devil Makes Three.

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.

In 2001, Pete headed to Washington State, where he formed a duo with a childhood friend Cooper McBean and began touring the west coast. When they broke down in Santa Cruz, California, they stayed with a fellow Vermonter Lucia Turino who was attending college at the University Of Santa Cruz and the band– The Devil Makes Three was born. Pete has three solo records released on his own label Kahn Records and many more with The Devil Makes Three.

MorganEve Swain uses only her voice and arsenal of stringed instruments to create music from experience. 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.

The Huntress and Holder of Hands relies simply on guitar and lyrics to conjure the memories, determination and love that invisibly link us together.
