Murder in the City - The Avett Brothers

holy moly. the avett brothers. what can be said about the avett brothers? i stumbled upon them one night playing in a small bar in tivoli, ny. i had never heard of them. had no idea what to expect. i came in about 2/3 of the way through the show. and the last third was unlike anything i had ever seen. they played from their toes to their eyebrows, giving everything they had into those microphones. they screamed and sang harmony better than anyone i had ever heard. they expressed emotions of love and passion that so few capture. and at the end of the show, a 3 hour show by all accounts, they came into the audience, shook everyone's hands, and thanked them for coming. i was very thankful indeed.

and now they're famous, just signed with american, rick rubin's columbia label. we'll see what happens, but at this point, it's safe to say that they are making some of the most honest, passionate, and beautiful music out there today. thanks for being honest, loyal, and true, dear avetts. may you continue on to even more beauty and expression.
