The Avett Brothers Will Rock the Key West Amphitheater this November
By: Macon Prickett Jul. 05, 2018
Known for their live performances that blend bluegrass roots with the fierce fire of a rock show and an emotional, near-gospel spirit, The Avett Brothers are no strangers to major venues: for past summers, they have sold out three nights at Colorado's legendary Red Rocks Amphitheater. They're also a staple on the festival circuit, frequenting the likes of Bonnaroo and Shakey Knees.
The Avett Brothers made mainstream waves with their 2009 major label debut, I and Love and You, landing at #16 on the Billboard Top 200 and garnering critical acclaim from Rolling Stone, Paste, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and Time. 2012 saw The Carpenter hit #4 on the Billboard Top 200, while People, USA Today, and American Songwriter lauded the album. The group appeared on Jimmy Kimmel LIVE! twice in a few months' time. During their second performance, the Brooklyn Philharmonic joined to pay homage to Brooklyn with "I and Love and You" at Mr. Kimmel's request. Their eighth studio album, Magpie and the Dandelion, debuted at #5 on the Billboard Top 200. They performed on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Late Show with David Letterman, and accompanied Chris Cornell for a Pearl Jam tribute on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. The band supported ?The Rolling Stones in Raleigh during 2015's Zip Code Tour.
True Sadness achieves The Avett Brothers highest career debut to date and dominates multiple charts. The Rick Rubin produced album hit #1 on Billboard's Top Albums Chart, #1 Top Rock Albums Chart, #1 Digital Albums Chart, #3 on the Billboard Top 200 and scored two Grammy nominations. The Avett Brothers were inducted into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame in 2016.
This past January, the Judd Apatow and Michael Bonfiglio-directed documentary chronicling the making of the Avett Brothers' 2016 album True Sadness premiered on HBO. The film takes an alternate route from the typical "rockumentary," and instead focuses on the familial bond between Scott and Seth Avett.
