THE AVETT BROTHERS
Three-time Grammy Award nominees The Avett Brothers made mainstream waves with their 2009 major label debut I And Love And You. In 2012, The Carpenter hit #4 on the Billboard Top 200, followed by Magpie And The Dandelion in 2013, which debuted at #5. In 2016, the band was inducted into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame. 2017’s documentary May It Last: A Portrait of The Avett Brothers (co-directed by Judd Apatow and Michael Bonfiglio) chronicles the process of writing 2016’s True Sadness (which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top Albums chart, #1 Rock Albums, #3 on the Billboard 200 & scored 2 Grammy noms). The film was released theatrically and on HBO to rave reviews, and is now available on DVD/Blu-Ray/VOD. The band’s 10th studio album Closer Than Together features single “High Steppin'” which reached #1 on the Americana Radio Singles Chart. Their latest album The Third Gleam debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Americana/Folk Albums chart, #1 Rock Albums, and #1 Vinyl Albums.
Single “Victory" hit #1 on the Americana Radio Singles Chart. The Avett Brothers stayed connected with fans amidst the COVID-19 pandemic by playing two sold out drive-in shows at Charlotte Motor Speedway in the span of three months. Swept Away - a musical inspired by & featuring the music of The Avett Brothers - premiered in January 2022 at Berkeley Repertory Theatre to rave reviews from audiences and critics and is currently in D.C. for a limited pre-Broadway engagement at Arena Stage.
