The Avett Brothers: wow, what a show !!
by FayeMcd on 11/1/10Ryman Auditorium - NashvilleAfter almost a full 2 hours, the band finally called it a night but I and the rest of the crowd would have happily and enthusiastically stayed for 2 more. I haven't had that much fun and pure joy at a concert in a long, long time. Their lyrics, musicianship, heart and spirit shined bright in every song. They rocked and wailed and then went soft and sweet and sometimes all in the same song. Don't know how you would categorize them...alternative country / folk / rock / bluegrass ...doesn't matter, they are a fantastic live act. The crowd response was wonderful - singing along with almost every song. The brothers, Scott and Seth and the rest of the band seemed so appreciative of the welcome they were given. They had 2 back-to-back sold out shows in Nashville, so if you see them coming to your town, grab a ticket as fast as you can.
