The Avett Brothers
Infectious American folk-rock
Why see The Avett Brothers?
Bluegrass Icons
The Avett Brothers are a non-traditional bluegrass band that originated in the early 2000s in Concord, North Carolina. Two brothers, Seth and Scott Avett, formed the group after the breakup of the former rock band, Nemo, adding two new members - Bob Crawford on double bass and Joe Kwon on cello. The bad.
Their sound is a refreshingly eclectic blend of traditional instruments - banjos, cello, double bass, and piano to name the most frequently heard sounds - played by true musicians with open and honest lyrics written from the heart. The Avett Brothers have managed to find their fit in between bluegrass and folk-rock genres, a place that makes them as at home at a small music festival as they are on an urban concert stage. Of their eight studio albums, the latest two have gained the band the highest positions on Billboard Charts in the US - with 2012's The Carpenter reaching Number Four and its 2013 follow-up, Magpie and the Dandelion, reaching Number Five.

Phenomenal
Instrumentals were absolutely amazing! Nothing fake. Raw talent! Voices Angelic! Lyrics come directly from the heart of humanity from love to loss and gratefulness. The energy stirred the body, mind, and soul! Thank you for an amazing performance!
Coachman Park was one of the most beautiful concert venues. Very well organized and clean. Security was comforting. Definitely family friendly! ... Read more

GREAT show!
First time seeing the Avett Brothers. It won’t be the last. They’re supremely talented and play a great variety of musical styles, from rock to bluegrass. They’re harmonies are exquisite! Both their music and lyrics are memorable and meaningful. Saw them in Philly at the Mann. Great venue. Can’t wait to see them again. ... Read more

Avett Brothers, Oak Mountain and Rainy . . . Perfect!
First off, Trish is right in that everyone should see the HBO documentary 'May it Last' to get some insight on these guys. Second, the band's skillset and musicality compete with AK & Union Station, Mumford & Sons, Springsteen and DMB, but AB has them all beat when it comes to heart. Third, these guys act like they a) really like each other and b) know that they are there for their audience. No matter how much beer that audience drinks and no matter how much that drunk audience believes how well they sing the songs. Yeesh! You just have to take a look at the setlist to see that every album was represented and how much guts it took for them to sing 'We Americans' in the environment we find ourselves in these days. Let's throw in Oak Mountain as a great venue that is acoustically superior, very comfortable and about the best location if you are interested in walking back over the footbridge to lodging (and parking), restaurants (and parking) and oh yes, parking. I will be back! ... Read more
