I'm a fan (and you should be too) because... The Avett Brothers speak to my soul! They have opened a window into a world that I am growing very fond of, this bluegrass, folk style in music. I know they are not necessarily classified in this genre, but I love their sense of heart and soul that they put into all of their songs. The Avett Brothers are refreshingly unique and heartfelt. I am learning the banjo now mostly due to the love I have for their music and the desire to create my own like this one day. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Avett Brothers and everything they stand for.
