The Avett Brothers

It's been a few days, but I wanted to say: these guys were simply amazing in concert. They played 22 songs, including a 2-song encore.


Before we went to the show on Saturday, I was doing some searching online, and stumbled across this, one of their new songs that they've been playing live lately. I would embed it here, but for some reason, whoever put it on youtube has disabled that feature. I highly recommend you check it out. It's an magnificently beautiful song. They played it second when I saw them.


They opened with "Murder in the City," the acoustic one that I had in my last post about them. I was blown away. After those songs, the guys really got rolling, and just blasted away. The amount of energy they have on-stage is incredible. You can tell they are legitimately excited to be playing their music, and they really put every part of themselves into performing.


The venue was this tiny performing arts center in the middle of a tiny town in the middle of nowhere, Vermont. It held maybe 500 people, and only sold out just a couple days before the show. Unfortunately, we were near the back, but it was so small that we still had a great view.


And after the show, the guys hung around and met with fans. I got to shake their hands, thank them for their performance, and had them sign our program. All in all, a very fun night.
