The Handsome Three - also billed as EVERYBODY'S TALKING - is a Danish trio formed by Billy Cross, Jimmy Bacoll and Lars Maasbøl, touring Danish venues since the late 1990s. Billy Cross is an American guitarist and producer who has lived in Denmark since 1980; he previously played lead guitar for Bob Dylan on the Street-Legal album and the 1977-79 world tour documented on Bob Dylan at Budokan. Jimmy Bacoll co-founded the Danish band Zididada, while Lars Maasbøl has worked as a live musician with Allan Olsen and Stig Rossen and has released solo material. The trio's stripped-back setup - three bar stools, three microphones and a collection of guitars - lets vocal harmonies and good-natured banter do the heavy lifting.
The Handsome Three celebrates 25 years on the Danish stage with the anniversary tour EVERYBODY'S TALKING - 25 years - same old shit.
Tinghallen in Viborg presented the trio as part of the anniversary tour in March 2026.
Billy Cross' time as guitarist for Bob Dylan 1977-79 received renewed attention in connection with the film A Complete Unknown.
