THE AVETT BROTHERS



You haven't heard toe-tappin', head-bangin' bluegrass until you've heard these guys play. If I thought I was head over heels for their 2007 release, Emotionalism, full of energy and catchy rhythms, then I'm deeply and irrevocably in love with Scott and Seth Avett thanks to their newest release The Second Gleam. Whereas Emotionalism showcased the jangly banjo of songs "Will You Return" and "Die Die Die", The Second Gleam introduces audiences to the softer side of the Avetts. Crooning ballads like "Tear Down the House" and "Bella Donna", these North Carolina brothers demand your attention. Together, these albums make for a perfect summer soundtrack.

Music and tour information can be found on their Myspace page.
