August 12, 2008 - New Tour Dates Added + Greensboro & Greenville!

We are still hard at work in the studio and can't wait for you all to hear what we're doing. We'll be back on the road next week, with a stop in Jackson Hole, WY. Click here to check out the full schedule.

Speaking of our schedule - we added some new dates in October and November! Click over to the tour dates page to check them out.

Tickets for our show in Greensboro at the War Memorial Auditorium (10/31) go on sale this FRIDAY, August 15th at 10AM. Make sure to get yours soon - this place only holds a little over 2,000 and at our last NC show, we were honored to have 7,000 in attendance.

We'll also be sticking around the Carolinas to play a show in Greenville, SC at the Peace Center on 11/1. It's a beautiful venue and we hope you will join us. Tickets are on sale now for that show, and can be found here.

Last, but not least, The Second Gleam has been doing really well! NPR recently chose "Tear Down The House" as their Song Of The Day (listen here) and Pitchfork gave it a nice review, too. They said: "The new EP is eloquent but not showy, reflective but not self-absorbed, tender but not saccharine." Read more here.

It was also the highest debut on CMJ’s Top 200 Chart at #39 and has moved up to #26 this week! The NY Daily News said that the album has "melodies as pure and pretty as a crystalline stream," and Performing Songwriter called it "mesmerizing." USA Today recently highlighted the track "Murder In The City" in their weekly playlist calling it "charmingly spare" and "Bella Donna," was recently chosen as the Top Tune at legendary LA-based radio station KCRW.

Thanks to everyone who picked up a copy and for all of your kind words!

We will see you all very soon,
The Avett Brothers

August 4, 2008 - Taking a break

Thanks to everyone who came out to the shows over the past week; from Floyd to Vermont, Massachusetts, Maine, and Rhode Island. It was a wonderful time and we will see you all again very soon.

We will be off the road for the next two weeks and working hard in the studio on our next album. We think it's going to be really special and can't wait to share it with you all.

Our next stop will be in Jackson Hole, WY for the Jackson Hole Music Festival on August 17th. Stay tuned for more updates!

Thanks,
The Avett Brothers
