The Avett Brothers bring group love to Ohio
Saw The Avett Brothers at the Kent Stage last night, and after the encore, we all piled out in a daze…it was such an energetic show and we wanted it to go on forever. But the house lights came up. Tyler and I got separated from Chris, and we waited in the lobby for a while wondering if he got hung up with someone he knew, or in the bathroom. Then the stage manager came running through yelling that we all needed to get our asses back inside, because the boys had taken the stage again.
Here’s what the played for the 2nd encore.
and here’s the energy they maintained for 2 straight hours.
Standing room only, sold out show. Everyone on their feet dancing and singing along.
My face still hurts from smiling.
ETA: Kate, these guys are based in North Carolina, and sister, I swear to you, it is so worth a drive to see them play live. Phe-no-menal.
"All through the long winter, I dream of my garden. On the first day of spring, I dig my fingers deep into the soft earth. I can feel its energy, and my spirits soar."

Oh man — you lucky! I’ve just “wasted” (ahem) half the afternoon watching Old Crow Medicine Show videos on youtube, wishing wishing wishing I was at a show. I do love me a modern-day bluegrasser. I do.
