From a little town called Mount Pleasant in North Carolina (population 1,652), The Avett Brothers, (who were scheduled to play this past April but had to cancel because Scott caught the flu) strung together a sound that’s equal parts contemporary folk and vintage Appalachian bluegrass.
It’s jangly as hell, and, at times, pretty punk rock as rapid-fire banjo strumming blends with three-part harmonies, fiddle, cello, acoustic guitar and drums. All to create music that’s as exciting as any punk rock show.
