An Attempt to Explain My Obsession

Those of you who know me well or even remotely know me that I am obsessed with the Avett Brothers. Spencer introduced them to me about 3 years ago and it took me months to warm up to them. Once I had, though, there was no turning back.

I'm still on quite a music high from my 5th Avett concert last night. I have seen them twice in Charlottesville, once in Roanoke, once at Freefest, and now in Portsmouth. They put on the best show I have ever seen last night.

The Avett Brothers are the most incredible band in the world. I would place all my money on this. I promise you if you go to an Avett concert, your life will absolutely be changed for the better. The brothers put everything they have into a show. They are so passionate and joyful about sharing their music with others.

Their energy is unlike anything I have ever seen before. They do not stop moving and stretching their voices and breaking strings for a solid two and a half hours usually. They put on one heck of a show every single time without fail.

This is all just about the performance, though. The music is a whole other story. The Avett Brothers make the most beautiful music I have ever heard. Maybe their voices or instrument strokes aren't perfect. Their words are perfect, though. They have a way of saying things that knocks any other artist out of the water. They admit to mistake, imperfection, heartache without trying to seem like perfect people, as many other artists do these days. They talk about God and allude to him often in songs. Seth smiled last night when he talked about the good Lord being beside him and it made my heart so happy.

The Avett Brothers have completed me. I honestly do not think any band or artist will ever come close to them in my eyes and this blog post could absolutely never do them justice. I so greatly look forward to the day when I can tell them (or at least attempt to tell them) how much they mean to me and inspire me. For those of you who have not fallen in love with The Avett Brothers yet I will leave you some links to a view songs that make my heart melt. I cannot wait to see them again soon.

Oh and PS: If anyone close to them reads this, The Band Concord is available always to open;)
