About

Growing up in Concord, North Carolina, and influenced by Bob Dylan, Crosby, Stills & Nash, and Neil Young, brothers Scott Avett on banjos and Seth Avett on guitars formed The Avett Brothers with standup bassist Bob Crawford in 2001, and released their first studio album Country Was in 2002, as well as live album that same year. Their stripped down, folky sound has a maudlin but warm vibe, full of gorgeous melodies and bluegrass jingle jangle. 2003's A Carolina Jubilee followed on Ramseur Records, as well as 2004’s Mignonette, which further polished their sound with graceful harmonies. In between a relentless concert schedule, the band managed to record 2006’s Four Thieves Gone: The Robbinsville Sessions and The Gleam EP, in addition to a second live album, between tours before releasing their 2007 album Emotionalism. This garnered a lot of critical acclaim and caught the attention of Rick Rubin, who signed the band to his American Records label and produced their follow-up 2009’s I and Love and You, expanding their sound and bringing the band to new heights. Their seventh full-length album The Carpenter, also produced by Rubin, came out in 2012, debuting at #4 on the Billboard Top 200 and earning their first Grammy nomination. The Avett Brothers latest, Magpie and the Dandelion, was released in October 2013 and is full of pop charisma and folk soul that has been enchanting ticket holders and pulling at their heartstrings with its raw energy and intimacy.

    One of the best i've ever seen!!

    by Jakey on 2012-06-11The Danforth Music Hall - Toronto

    This was, without exaggeration, one of the best concerts I've ever seen. I'd probably put Josh Groban as number one and Avett Brothers as a second. Their sound was amazing, really polished. The double bass and cello really completes it. They are so talented as songwriters, performers, and musicians and it really shows in their live performance. They barely talked with the audience and it was about 2 hours of non-stop amazing music. The set list was perfect and they played the right songs at the right times; knowing when to pick it up and when to slow it down. They also played a good combination of their hits and newer stuff. Finally, their energy was just unbelievable, they really were putting their heart and soul into each song and the audience felt it.
