The Avett Brothers

Four-time GRAMMY Award nominees The Avett Brothers made mainstream waves with their critically acclaimed 2009 major label debut, "I and Love and You". In 2012, "The Carpenter" hit #4 on the Billboard 200, followed by "Magpie and the Dandelion" in 2013, which debuted at #5 on the Billboard 200. The 2017 documentary "May It Last: A Portrait of The Avett Brothers" (co-directed by Judd Apatow and Michael Bonfiglio) chronicles the process of writing 2016’s "True Sadness", which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top Albums, #1 on Rock Albums, #3 on the Billboard 200, and scored two Grammy nominations. The film was released theatrically and on HBO to rave reviews and is available on DVD/BluRay/VOD. In 2019, the band released their tenth studio album "Closer Than Together" featuring the single “High Steppin’” which reached #1 on the Americana Radio Singles Chart. "The Third Gleam" came out amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Americana/Folk Albums, #1 Rock Albums, #1 Vinyl Albums, and the single “Victory” hit #1 on the Americana Radio Singles Chart. This year saw the release of "The Avett Brothers", an album that is as much untitled as it is self-titled: a collection of songs that revealed themselves naturally over time. "Swept Away" – a musical inspired by & featuring the music of The Avett Brothers – recently debuted on Broadway. The Avett Brothers have been inducted into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame and have earned a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Americana Music Association.
