Avett Brothers 10/8/11

Exactly one year ago we celebrated my wife's birthday by seeing one of our favorite bands play live and they happened to be in NC again this year on the same date!  A beautiful day turned into a beautiful NC night and the Avett's brought the energy just like they always do.  They only play NC about once a year and since they are from NC they put on a kick ass show, this year did not disappoint.  This evening was one of their longest sets as well as rarest including the song that my wife and I chose for our wedding "Swept Away" which is a rare play in itself but even more rare when Bonnie, their sister, comes out to sing her verse in the song.  As it was a new venue in Greensboro, NC some of the sound could have been better but it was still a beautiful night, beautiful music, and a great time had by all.  Hopefully they will come around more than once a year because it is quite a moving show, if you havent seen them, they are a cant miss good good time.
