    Heck yeah!

    I've seen them live several times now and they're another one of those amazing live acts, like Pearl Jam, that really bring it each night and connect with everyone in the room.

    Their new album is streaming at NPR right now.

    Not a problem my friend. Always love sharing the Avett Brothers with people.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they made it over to the UK soon. This new album is their first on a more major label. That kind of backing could finally get them over there. If so, you gotta go see them. It'll be more than worth every penny.

    Their shows are really high energy. I could see how some people might be put off by their music because it's incredibly "heart on your sleeve" and could come off as cheesy to some, but when you see them live and see those songs in person, you realize how much they actually mean it and feel it. They have a commitment to each and every word they sing. They can go from screaming and stomping around to being so beautiful and quiet. What I also love is how down to earth and grateful they seem to be. Their style of music is something that's just not going to get a great deal of airplay, so touring constantly is how they really make a living and you can see how much they appreciate the crowds who come to see them play.

    I like you dude.. you feel it like I do 8-)

    one of the reason I like them so much, is that they are good honest people. and I like it when good people succeed, and there music is so personal, so every song is never generic.. it has a meaning/feeling and I think that makes the song 10x better! I hope to see that in person one day!

    FYI for the month of November you can get Four Thieves Gone for 5 bucks at amazon. Well worth the 5 bucks if you are looking for something good to listen to.
