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.
"In summer we live out of doors, and have only impulses and feelings, which are all for action, and must wait commonly for the stillness and longer nights of autumn and winter before any thought will subside; we are sensible that behind the rustling leaves, and the stacks of grain, and the bare clusters of the grape, there is the field of a wholly new life, which no man has lived; that even this earth was made for more mysterious and nobler inhabitants than men and women. In the hues of October sunsets, we see the portals to other mansions than those which we occupy."
~Henry David Thoreau

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.
