Album: Emotionalism (Ramseur Records)
Few bands can say they've successfully crossed the boundaries from punk to folk-country music and have retained the energy, come to think of it, I don't know any. Three guys, two brothers, a banjo, a guitar, a stand-up bass and lyrics of pretty girls, alcohol and the awkward moments of life, this band has a live performance that has yet to be challenged. This will sell out, get your tickets now, you’ve been warned.
In the humble opinion of seattle.net, this will be one of the best shows of the year, a guanranteed heart pounding several hours of musical bliss.
Avett Brothers band statement:
"It costs nothing to be honest, loyal and true."
If you put your ear to the street, you may hear the rumble of the world in motion; people going to and from work, to school, to the grocery store. You may even hear the whisper of their living rooms, their conversations, their complaints and if you’re lucky, their laughter. If you’re anywhere near a growing number of towns in the US and beyond, you’ll hear something different, something special. You’ll hear something you recognize but haven’t heard in a long time. It is the sound of real celebration.
It is not New Years, and it’s not a political convention. It is neither a prime time game-show, nor a music video countdown, bloated with fame and sponsorship. What you’re hearing is the love for music. It is the unbridled outcry of support for a song that sings to the heart, that dances with the soul. The jubilation is in the theaters, the bars, the music clubs, the festivals. The love is for the band
The songs are honest: just chords with real voices singing in real melodies. But, the heart and the energy with which they are sung, is really why people are talking, and why so many sing along.
They are a reality in the world of entertainment built with smoke and mirrors, and when they play, the common man can break the mirrors and blow the smoke away, so that 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 this Saturday night, that’s what you’ll find.
