  • With all due respect to its terrific albums and kinetic, frenetic live shows, if The Avett Brothers could put on a three-song acoustic concert at every workplace in America, the band would be a world-beating colossus. For proof, listen to this performance in the NPR Music offices. Find more at www.npr.org/templates/story/st....

    I remember the first time I heard this sound booming from somewhere in the belly of Rowe Arts at UNCC.... enchanting as it was... I was actually breathless and respectful when during a fortunate midnight break from the computer lab I was standing in the lobby at just the right position to see these guys emerging, all unassuming, from a fluorescent lit side hallway.... I was in shock to realize they had been making those sounds. You ever see a couple and it’s so easy for them, it’s so natural, and they just are?... you feel happy they found each other.... It was like that when I saw the guys for that moment in the hallway... I just stared. We all nodded a hello. And I knew I had just witnessed something special.

    The artistry, the love, the kindness and a certain truthfulness is always so apparent in their lyrics and their music. "No Hard Feelings" will hopefully be played at any service I might have. They broached the subject that we all have to confront in our own way, in a masterful way.

It made me remember he’s at peace with no hard feelings for anyone who let him down in any way and that I have some hard feelings towards my ex that I need to let go of. Their music is the best thing I’ve come across in a long time.

    They are amazing live. I always recommend their shows because they just have a whole vibe and feeling to them and they play and sing so beautifully. I've been a fan for years and will always love them!

    Just listened to this "concert" again, and now I am thinking these guys are the best lyricists out there right now. Their music is also fine quality. I expect to hear these guys a lot more across the country. Just great stuff. Thanks NPR, for this excellent programming.

      I know what you mean. Such energy, and passion. I loop the audio from this youtube when I'm on road trips or flying. I also think this short video is the best Avett Bro's album.

    I have loved this band since I found their track "if it's the beaches" which is one of my favorites!
    .... in me opinion, they are (a tad gritty, a smidge rough) both good qualities!, & create true honest wonderful music! Keep it up guys!!

    Saw a live show in SF,Ca. in October; Simply Magical! Not to be missed! Four of us in our group, None of us knew the Avett Bros.(came for the opener, excellent, also!) Will see again, don't know how many instrument strings these artists broke during show, someone would hand them another, and they kept on going . . . Wow!!

    Does anyone recognize the vital role of that cello[?]? It saved them from becoming just another band. Also, the two voices of the brothers is just stupendous. I love the band and put them right up there with the Head and the Heart.

  • @banjobandit3270

    All these comments about tuning. One thing that makes the Avetts special is that they don't care about being perfect, they don't want to be perfect. They want to be sincere, sing songs from the heart with honesty and real emotion that their audience can connect with. It takes a special kind of musician to be able to pull that off, but the Avetts do it better than anyone. All their mistakes show how human they are. They don't want to pretend to be better than anyone else.

    • @dennisnew33

    Witnessed these guys with only about 120 others at the Rancho Nicaso in 2006, and again in a tiny music hall in San Francisco in 2007. Really special. It was apparent that they were on the forefront of something really different, redefining neo-American music for the 21st century. I personally think Laundry Room is one of their all-time greatest songs....for so many reasons!

  • @frankieklein
    @frankieklein 7 ปีที่แล้ว +32

    Honest... For me their music transcends and has the ability to take me on little trips... The lyrics, a rift, the mood of a song somehow helps to clarify some of my most beautiful memories. Usually while working with and surrounded by grounded realists doing what they can to either better themselves, the things that surround them, or do what they can to learn the truth of the past so they can do what they can to avoid it in the future or help one wronged by it.
    Typically in and under those circumstances, i.e. active war zones, extreme poverty, refugee camps, and/or even being around extreme excess and suddenly realizing you are helping to perpetuate it in some way... its in those moments I've found make the best time to escape and run as fast as you can and surround yourself with beauty and silence of our environment offer.s I need to escape to remain sane and effective and it is finding those extremes... beauty in the midst of the ugliness of the human condition that makes it so much more moving..
    That music takes me to the Cacapon in the mountains of W.VA, or cooking over a fire using a spit made out of locally found twigs on the bank of the Neretva in Mostar, BiH, the peacefulness of the winding Snake River in that huge valley looking up at the Tetons in Wyoming.
    The music reminds me I am nothing and everything at the same time, I or we have learned so much and come so far in the past thirty or forty years in our understanding of each other and the universe. We have CERN and I have spent time in Nations that have set the perfect example for the rest of us to follow....
    Do yourself a favor and stay in that utopia as long as you can don't turn on the TV as you will quickly be reminded of how far we have to go.
    Thanks Avett Brothers for reminding me of the beauty in the human spirit that has held on through the darkest of times.

    Watching in 2022, seen a dozens shows, but the chemistry between Scott and Seth still makes me tear. They’re just so good at making each other better musically.
