Pete Bernhard is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist known for his role as the frontman of The Devil Makes Three, a group that blends bluegrass, old-time music, country, folk, blues, jazz, and ragtime. Bernhard hails from Vermont but moved to California where he would eventually form The Devil Makes Three with bassist Lucia Turino and guitarist Cooper McBean. His rugged voice and evocative storytelling are hallmarks of the band's sound.

As a solo artist, Bernhard has cultivated a personal catalog that delves even deeper into the raw narratives and emotions that color his writing. His most recent solo releases, including "Harmony Ascension Division," "Straight Line," and "Things I Left Behind," showcase the intimacy and self-reflection that Pete brings to his music. These albums offer a glimpse into the troubadour's individual artistic journey, often characterized by a stripped-down aesthetic that focuses on the lyrical content and his distinctive guitar playing. Pete Bernhard's work, both as a solo artist and with The Devil Makes Three, has garnered a dedicated following who appreciate his authentic approach to roots music and his ability to weave compelling stories through his songs.
