It was in the wee hours of the morning when I was introduced to The Avett Brothers. I was dealing with many demons from my past at the time and had just finally shared my story with the man I now love, when the song Shame came up on his computer. As I went in and out of a light sleep that night, that song kept coming up, it must have played 10 times that night. It was a constant reminder through the night that I was not alone, I had finally shared my story and that shame/blame I felt could finally start to lift off of me.
I am now an avid Avett Brothers fan, not just because of their lyrics which are so heartfelt that they touch your soul, but because they are genuine. They truly are thankful for every fan and all they have been given and blessed with. They have a sence of God deep rooted in them and a strong belief in family. They are able to give out raw emotion in their songs without having to use obsinities, allowing all generations to listen to what they have to say, "I don't need those words to say what I mean." There's not another group out there that could compare to their eloquence.
