I'm not sure when it was, sometime a couple of years back, my sister introduced me to the Avett Brothers. I think she showed me a youtube video of the Brothers playing "Distraction #74" -- a very fitting introduction to the band. That is all it took for me to delve into all of their music, and what amazing music it is; the lyrics, the music, the passion that comes through in each song, just...awesome. I finally saw my first Avett Brothers show on New Years Day 2010; i was sick as a dog but it was still the best concert i've ever seen, i'm looking forward to many more to come. Keep it up, gentlemen.
