The Avett Brothers are the latest act to announce a couple of Bluesfest sideshows.
Their name might not be familiar, but after several tours with Dave Matthews Band they’re destined to become one of 2010’s big things. Their unique rootsy sound has been described by the San Francisco Chronicle as having the “heavy sadness of Townes Van Zandt, the light pop concision of Buddy Holly, the tuneful jangle of the Beatles, the raw energy of the Ramones.” That’s some blend!
The North Carolina-based band are out here to promote their latest album I And Love And You, which hits stores on February 19.
Make sure you catch The Avett Brothers at the following shows. Sideshow tickets are available through Ticketek.
2 & 3 April 2010 – Byron Bay Bluesfest
5 April 2010 – Factory Theatre, Sydney
6 April 2010 – Prince Bandroom, Melbourne
