Our Song of the Week is a fan-favorite from Colorado’s The Devil Makes Three. The Devil Makes Three have built a fervent fan base with their no-holds-barred live shows and “Graveyard,” included here from their Mountain Stage set, is a fan favorite from the band’s 2002 self-titled debut album.
Last year they headlined at Red Rocks Amphitheatre- the legendary Colorado music venue where their latest release, “Live at Red Rocks” was recorded.
