The Avett Brothers

When people ask Scott and Seth Avett how long they've been playing music they'll usually say, "forever." Though, under the name The Avett Brothers, they've only been playing for a relatively short amount of time. Yet, the Avett's sound is indicative of a lifetime of development and an implicit partnership.

The only thing that is certain about The Avett Brothers' future is that it will be filled with shows, shows, and more shows. Over the past year, the trio has made known that half of what makes them great are their live performances, which have proven to entertain and enchant a wide, diverse audience. It's the intensity at which the Avetts pour their angst, heartache and love into each show that has captivated crowds across the country. And it's those audience reactions that propel The Avett Brothers to continue. Scott Avett explained, "When people hear what we're saying in our songs and listening to things for the right reasons - when they get quiet when we're playing - it's a blessing. To know that somebody has a problem in their life that we can temporarily soothe...that's what it's all about."

“If old-timey icon Dock Boggs, the Violent Femmes, Hank Williams, the Everly Brothers, and the freakshow sidecar of the carnival all had a wreck, it might sound something like the Avett Brothers. And that's a good thing.”

“The Avetts’ dreamy acoustic ballads and revved-up gutterpunk folkgrass conjure visions of some ballsy, demented, hick version of Crosby, Stills and Nash.”
