It is always nice to support local talent so I thought I would give The Avett Brothers some air time. Hailing from Concord, NC these brothers made numerous appearances in G'boro as they were getting started. Belinda can tell you of several instances where their live performances at the Green Bean disrupted her studying. Who knew? The Avett Brothers seem to defy categorization, which on the one hand is pretty cool, but on the other hand, it is kind of frustrating. It is hard to get into a band that is always redefining itself or adding new dimensions. That is not saying I want a band to stagnate, but I don't want them schizophrenic either. This tune, "Murder in the City" is a far cry from the "thrashgrass" which helped them break into a national act. One can only wonder if the city with which they refer is Charlotte? One can only hope.
PS - pretty awesome beards
