The Avett Brothers


Recently I was getting coffee at Uptown Espresso in the West Seattle Junction when I heard the sweet sweet sounds of amazing country music. I inquired the Barista, Amy, about it and she said "Its the Avett Brothers, they're totes amazing."

Suffice to say I agreed and the next time I came it I was surprised with a burned copy of The Avett Brother's CD titled "Emotionalism." It is quite possibly the best album I have heard in the past 5 years. The music is well written, the album well produced, and it has a sense of nostalgia mixed with a profound freshness. I highly recommend it.

Here are a few ditties for you.





This is the album version of "Die, Die, Die"



I will definately be at the show this August at the Woodland Park Zoo. Plus, I get to check out the Cassowaries.
