The Avett Brothers at The Fox Theater
The Avett Brothers rawk-ing it at The Fox Theater in Oakland, CA.
Wow… people have been telling me about this act for a while, and Lord knows I’ve read countless articles about them in Paste, Rolling Stone Magazine, Tape Op, etc. But, I must say, I never really listened to ‘em before. So, when my buddy Mark called me up and told me he was coming into town for a few days and wanted to see some music, I thought it was a good time to see these dudes at one of my new favorite venues: The Fox Theater in Oakland, CA.
To be honest, I thought their recorded material that I listened to on Spotify was a little soft/wimpy, but when the lights came on and they ripped up the stage, I was totally sold. It’s rare to see a live act with more energy in this genre. And, what, exactly, IS this genre? Can we call this indie punk bluegrass? Huh… whatever it is, it’s sort of cool. Anyway, that’s about all I have to say about that… great band, great live show, definitely check them out the next time they come to a town near you!
