The Devil Makes Three show has been moved to the Crosstown Arts space which is right down the street from our new location (map). Fear not, change of venue does not mean change in quality. The Devil Makes Three will still bring you the same glorious sounds you’ve come to to love. Please enjoy a few videos (all from very recent performances) of them killing it rather hard on their current tour. Show starts at 8pm, $13. “Dad Country” pioneer Jonny Fritz opens the show (his “Chevy Baretta” video is below).

Wayne Hancock is a master of the honky tonky country blues. Taking after the such legends as Jimmie Rodgers and Hank Williams, Hancock has crafted his own unique sound within the framework of a long-crowded genre.
Tonight, Hancock is performing at the Hi-Tone Cafe. He’s also bringing Ohio blues guitarist Patrick Sweany along with him. Sweany’s sound is more blues than country (which is quite evident in his performance of “Pecan Trees” in the video below), but the two artists are a perfect fit.
