Paste has had a long running love-affair with The Avett Brothers’ unique brand of rowdy Americana. While many devotees lamented their Rick Rubin-produced album I and Love and You, we lauded them for their ginormous, pendulous testicles. Now, the fellas are joining John Mayer as special guests on his Battle Studies tour for some late-summer dates. Tickets for the shows go on sale April 17 via LiveNation.com.
Those dates:
July
31 – Bristow, Va. @ Jiffy Lube Live
August
13 – Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio @ Blossom Music Center
14 – Tinley Park, Ill. @ First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre
15 – Noblesville, Ind. @ Verizon Wireless Music Center

Good for The Avett Brothers. I've been a fan for years and you know what? The more exposure for them the better! Doesn't really matter what you think of John Mayer. I mean, he's not joining the band, merely cobilling a tour. So to all those naysayers... BOOO... support The Avetts!! Woohoo!
Did Lindsey Lee say "Ginormous Testicles"?
