The Avett Brothers are a non-traditional bluegrass band that originated in Concord, North Carolina. The two brothers, Seth and Scott, formed the group after the breakup of the former rock band, Nemo, adding a third member, Bob Crawford. More recently, they have been joined by cellist Joe Kwon. The Avett Brothers combine old-time country, bluegrass, punk, pop melodies, folk, rock and roll, honky tonk and ragtime to produce a sound described by the Washington Post as “post civil-war modern rock”, or by other reviewers as “grungegrass”.
For a long time the group eschewed labels, feeling that “none would do the music justice.” Ironically, the Avetts signed to Columbia Records on Independence Day 2008 to record their fifth album with acclaimed producer Rick Rubin. It’s simply left up to each person to extract his or her own account from the Avetts’ music.”
Their live performances, generally at smaller venues, showcase their use of three-part harmony and southern rock feel, and are admired for being intense, energetic, and soulful. The Avetts have been picking up steam opening for Dave Matthews Band and playing SXSW and Newport Folk Festival.

I love them very much. It's a pity they seldom come to Europe. Murder in the City is their best song.

Nothing wrong with electric guitars themselves, but I think the Avett Brothers should stick to bluegrass instead of the folk rock they've moved onto.

I And Love And You is the Avett Brothers’ weakest album. I mean, it’s still good, but their older sound is so much better. Bring back the raw bluegrass and get rid of the electric guitars. [2] Aside from January Wedding and Ten Thousand Words, I agree.
