Lucia turino biography

Lucia Turino

As a kid in Vermont, Lucia Turino was exposed to folk, blues, and jug band music by her “hippie” parents and was attracted to the raw energy she found at punk rock shows she attended later on, along with her bandmates Pete Berhard and Cooper McBean. Today, the sound of The Devil Makes Three is incredibly dynamic and alive; inspired by these nostalgic pieces of her past. “While most bands are propelled from behind by a drummer, TDM3 builds exuberant rhythms from the inside out, wrapping finger-picked strings and upsurging harmonies around chugging acoustic guitar and bass, plying an ever-growing audience onto its feet to jump, shake, and waltz.”

Lucia learned to play the upright bass in order to join the band, but she’s a natural: her inherent rhythm is another throwback to her upbringing and history of dance. “Attacking the strings of her upright, she understands how to infuse songs with the force it takes to get a crowd moving.”
