The Avett Brothers are coming to Hill Auditorium tomorrow night. They’ve been my favorite band since I was a kid, so I’m very excited! As follows is an excerpt from their website which I feel accurately defines The Avett Brothers in a couple of words: “…all that’s left behind is the unwavering beauty of the songs. That’s the commotion, that’s the celebration, and wherever The Avett Brothers are tonight, that’s what you’ll find.”
The Band:
Scott Avett – Vocals, Banjo, Kick Drum
Seth Avett – Vocals, Guitar, High-Hat
Bob Crawford – Vocals, Bass
Paul Defiglia – Keyboard, Organ
Tania Elizabeth – Violin
Joe Kwon – Cello
Mike Marsh – Drums
You can watch some of their music videos on their website. I especially like “Murder in the City.” There are more videos (and interviews and the like!) on their YouTube account.
Their music is a delightful combination of folk rock, indie rock, ragtime, country, and quite a few other genres.
The band has a reputation for awesome live shows (I speak from experience – I’ve seen them five times). Tickets are still on sale, and you can buy them here. Hope you enjoy the concert!
