GET TO KNOW THE AVETT BROTHERS.
Scott and Seth Avett, with bassist Bob Crawford and a wider ensemble, built a distinctive form of roots music from acoustic instruments and the urgency of a rock band. Emotionalism and I and Love and You brought that approach to a broad audience. Their songs often look closely at family, mortality and the difficulty of living by one’s convictions, balancing plain language with a strong melodic instinct.
Banjo, guitar, bass and cello can create either a delicate chamber-like setting or a driving ensemble sound. The brothers’ contrasting voices give the harmonies an expressive, slightly rough edge.
