I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...TAB is awesome. The magic that they create within their music and lyrics is akin to having a spirtual experience for me. I connect with music that gets me to that higher place- that place that others try to acheive with drugs. My drug? MUSIC. I am the one you see at shows that is completely engrossed in what is happening on stage- crying out for more, experiencing, feeling each note, each word as if it will be my last. I am the one that cynical people point and laugh at because I am dancing wildly - that just means they aren't having as much fun as I am!

The Avett Brothers get me to that place, much in the same way that the Grateful Dead did for me. And that is saying ALOT (veteran of 100+ Dead shows and 3 years of being on full time tour) I have been wanting a band that can make me feel like that again, and I think I have found that love again. Thank you Avett Brothers

See y'all on the road!
