CONCERT REVIEW: Devil Makes Three @ Johnny Brenda's, 7/27
“This is our first show at Johnny Brenda’s,” said Pete Bernhard, singer and guitarist of The Devil Makes Three. Later: “We like it here. We’ll be back in Philly.”
It was probably the sold out crowd stomping its feet, clapping its hands and singing along that made Bernhard feel so welcome. Before he took the stage, the crowd was warmed up by the Brad Hinton Band’s bluesy country rock, complete with twangy guitar solos and back up singers.
The Devil Makes Three brought the room to life with their acoustic folk quite literally as the floor felt as if it had a heartbeat from everyone moving with the music. It was clear when the acoustic folk trio played new songs simply because no one sang with them. Everyone seemed to know every word to the other tunes Bernhard, guitarist/banjo playin’ Cooper McBean or upright-bass slappin’ Lucia Turino sang. There was hootin’ and hollerin’ and some of the most aggressive applause for folk music any Philly rock ’n’ roll club has seen, putting a round of Philly lovin’ smiles on the band’s faces throughout the night. The crowd was rowdiest when The Devil Makes Three rocked their ode to J.D., “Old Number Seven,” from 2002’s self-titled release, “Aces and Twos,” off of 2009’s Do Wrong Right and the title track from that same album. All night they were right on cue, playing without the slightest bit of doubt and with the look of having one objective: putting some dents in Johnny Brenda’s’ floor by way of getting everyone to stomp along.
