I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...The Avett Brothers have an amazing way of making there shows, no matter the size, very personal. The high energy and passion behind each song had me a believer and fan as soon as I saw my first live show, which was in Huntsville, Al. There personal aspect goes all the way to this website and social networking sites which are always having contests and allowing the fan to be interactive with the band. Lastly, and maybe most importantly, they enjoy cultivating a good beard, just as I do.
