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.
Hear more from The Devil Makes Three, plus performances from the David Bromberg Quintet, Eliza Gilkyson, The Suitcase Junket and Jarlath Henderson, as Kathy Mattea returns to guest-host this week’s episode of Mountain Stage.
