Found in: Music, NewsNew Avett Brothers EP coming this summer
Avett Brothers fans have something to look forward to (beyond the 4.5 quillion tour dates the group is working through currently, natch). The band of brothers will cap off months and months (and months and months) of touring with a brand new EP on July 22, entitled The Second Gleam. Conveniently enough, it will provide Avettaholics with six brand-new songs just before the siblings headline the Koka Booth Ampitheatre in Cary, NC. Tickets for that show go on sale May 9. Also coming from Ramseur Records on July 22 is the debut from Samantha Crain, The Confiscation, and the first... read more
Found in: Music, NewsPaste's Avett Brothers tour watch: Day 247
Considering that they're our pseudo-progeny, it should come as no surprise that we at Paste are constantly keeping tabs on the Avett Brothers. Restraining orders be damned! It's imperative that these impressionable young men not fall in with the wrong crowd - you know, those wholesome types. So every time the Avetts dispatch a tour update, we're there to let you know. Regular Paste news junkies might recall a TRL-style Avetts tour item that ran last month with fresh show dates included. Alas, we didn't list every single venue that the folk-stomping trio would be demolishing this spring. So, for... read more
Found in: Music, NewsAvett Brothers wrap up year of touring with more touring
Ah, December! Amidst all the frenzied holiday shopping, baking, inclement weathering, family get-togethering, gift wrapping (and/or rapping), cheesy sweater-wearing, egg nog-slurping, covert Snowed In-listening, A Christmas Story-binging and "Next year, we’re skipping Christmas!"-ing, somehow we always find time to reflect on the year that's about to meet its demise. Around these parts, we like to make people angry lists. Lots and lots of lists. In case a hunger for Paste lists still rages in your belly—personally, we’re full of all the chocolates PR companies keep sending us—here’s one more: Top Five PasteMagazine.com News Items About New Avett Brothers Tour Dates... read more
Found in: Music, NewsAvett Brothers clean up at AMA Awards, continue tour
Paging through back issues of Paste is sort of like looking at an Avett Brothers family photo album. Awww... remember when those little tykes released Mignonette? Boy, we sure thought they'd never grow up back then. And it seems like only yesterday we gave 'em their own feature story. But now, the Avetts are all rugged and grown up, as evidenced by their latest effort, Emotionalism. But we're not the only ones who have taken notice of the Avett Brothers' impressive maturation. As previously reported, the Avetts went into last week's Americana Music Association awards with three nominations. Well, the... read more
Found in: Music, NewsAvett Brothers Receive Three AMA nominations
The Avett Brothers are three-time nominees for this year’s Americana Music Association awards, pitting them against artists who helped define the genre. Besides “Duo of the Year,” and “New and Emerging Artist of the Year,” the folk rock (or "indie roots", supposedly) band founded by Scott and Seth Avett is pitted against Bob Dylan, Patty Griffin and Lucinda Williams for “Album of the Year.” Williams and Griffin also received three nominations, and since there are only six categories (two of which they don’t even qualify for), it is safe to understate that the awards have a strong female presence this... read more
