just spent the last hour watching the Avett Brothers on a live streaming concert on facebook. My love for them grows more and more every time I listen to them. I discovered them years ago from a friend I worked with and my life has never been the same! I have seen them multiple times and concert and just smile thinking of watching them live. If you ever get a chance to see them, I highly recommend it! The first time I saw them, I caught myself just watching instead of singing along. They are such incredible performers. You can just feel how much they love what they do by watching them. So much energy is brought to their performances – I just can’t get over it. They have come so far and are now making it in the "big time" and I am so happy for them. I was lucky enough to see them in Raliegh a few weeks ago and was blown away. They played for about 3 hours and did two encores. Not only do they perform with such liveliness, they are SO grateful. They are continuously thanking their fans and are so appreciative. It just makes me smile to see them do anything. They are so genuine and I love that they write all of their stuff. Just pure talent.
One of my favorite songs to listen to and see live would have to be “Talk on Indolence”. If anyone has been to a concert with me, they can vouch by saying that I cross my fingers and say this title over and over and over again until it is played. It must work, because they’ve played it at every concert I’ve been to. Why do I love this song might you ask? Well, I shall tell you. Last semester I had two classes off campus from ASU and I had to drive to Wilkesboro and Hickory weekly. This allows for many hours of music listening. The first time I heard this song live, it was one of the only songs I couldn’t sing along with because it was so many words in such a short amount of time. I decided on my nice long journey to class, I was determined to learn all the words. So I put the song on repeat and listened until I got it down pat. Now I request this song often so I can show off my skills of memorizing this song. J My next goal – “I Killed Sally’s Lover”
While watching, I heard someone sum them up to a tee –“They write music that hits everyone – it can really speak to your soul – just listen to “Salvation”; they came here for truth and family – they have strong morals and values and they have always kept to themselves”
Thank you Avett Brothers for coming into my life. You are such a pick-me-up and I can’t wait to see you AGAIN to ring in the New Year!!!
