Hi, my name is Liz Ruiz from Massachusetts, and I'm one of the many fans (and you should be too) because...
The Avett Brothers are among the few elite artists currently immersed in creating meaningful music. They portray in their music the love they have for what they do so profoundly that it takes my breath away. Their unique melodies, lyrics, instruments, and, stage performances are always in sink, and, of outstanding quality. The poetic lyrics in their songs portray the inspirations of the love, honesty, loyalty, commitment, and, humility they have felt in their relationships and with the world around them. They make words and notes transform simple moments or thoughts into timeless beautiful images that everyone can identify with. They model what real men are by their courage to put their feelings out there into their songs. Their songs are never repetitious, always deep in meaning with all the notes "perfect in pitch and harmony". Every album is fantastic body of work throughout and I am captured by the poetic insight.
I am always thrilled that during their concerts Scott and Seth, especially, enjoy interacting with the audience, and thrive from their responses. Even after they have sung the same songs hundreds of times, they want to play it as if it was their first. Their personal acknowledgments of gratitude to their fans make a dynamic emotional connection too. The musical genius they possess and perform as a band as well as individually, shows the brotherly love they all share. "... And it spread... into our hearts." All of their albums are fantastic and fulfilling in meaning throughout.
The Avett Brothers' music served as a significant bond for my daughter Vanessa and me. "Angels voices" are how my daughter and I describe the bros. She is a 22-year-old college-student and had given me a few Avett CDs and unexpectedly, I became hooked too. Now we have a mutual love for this band. We often quote encouraging lyrics from their songs like ...
"Always remember there is nothing worth sharing like the love that let us share our name" ... "When you run, make sure you run, to something, and not away from..." - "Not even the hands of God could hold me back from you." - "Keep all your words, there's three that I heard, whether or not you said them out loud... they were, I don't care ... so there "
I met Scott, Seth, and, John briefly after the concert in Boston, 10/14/10, House of Blues, and, Bob at the Newport Folk Fest 8/1/10. When having a conversation with any of them, I noticed how genuine and humble they were to everyone. They were friendly, and happy to meet us, not complacent or put on heirs. There is no doubt that they were all brought up as distinguished gentlemen. I hope my daughter will someday meet her soul mate of the same integrity and honor as the Avett Brothers.
I am so happy I found new music that puts a smile on my face and joy in my heart on every occasion.
I hope the Avett fans multiply ... seriously, no one should miss out on the Best Band Ever!
