I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...my daughter who was always in my face about this group that was just unbelievable finally got my attention. upon my first listen i knew it was something i was gonna have to hear more of. she played a song ...about boatload of shame. i later got my own cd of the latest version. i have seen them in concert one time and told my husband that i would liken it to seeing someone as big as the rolling stones for the first time. the energy and anticipation for each next song and minute was worthy of standing only. the talent that was shown on that stage was true and raw and amazingly displayed. i tell people all about these guys. the ballad songs are so true to life and self-reflective. great vocals right along with some of the best instrument playing ever. you are the best avett brothers. i'm so impressed with all of the talents of the both of you. can't wait to see you again soon.
