Avett Brothers just announced for Sept 25. This is quite a coup as they are quite popular now and appeared on the Emmies!

The Avett Brothers were formed in 2000 when two brothers, Scott and Seth Avett from Concord, North Carolina, merged their two bands and began writing original music together. The brothers share an amazing amount of musical talent, both on vocals, guitar, banjo and more. Brotherly harmony is heard throughout their music with a style that combines bluegrass, country, punk, folk, rock and roll, honky tonk and ragtime. In 2002 a stand-up bass player, Bob Crawford, joined the group and they recorded their first studio album, Country Wars. The following albums, A Carolina Jubilee released in 2003 and Mignonette released in 2004, showcased the intensity of their music, their refined sound and gave the band their musical direction.

Performing live on late night TV and selling out shows nationwide was evident of the bands growing popularity, and in 2007 their album Emotionalism debuted at number 1 on the Top Heatseekers Album chart. A true breakthrough came in 2009 when they were announced as the opening act for the Dave Matthews Band which led them to also tour with John Mayer later that year. Their latest album I and Love and You is rapidly climbing the charts with the hit singles, “Head Full of Doubt / Road Full of Promise,” “The Perfect Space” and “I and Love and You.”
