Avett Brothers
Having seen these guys a couple times, including their Edgefield show last month, I can provide good news and bad news. The good news, the Avetts are known for their live shows. I have literally seen moshing during their punk spazz outs and people crying during the more sensitive songs, each occurring within minutes.
The bad news, they recently added a full-time drummer (sorry dude, nothing against you personally). Seth and Scott Avett used to split the drumming duties during their live performances, which really added to the, "I am a bad ass musician, get ready to drop your jaw." factor. Aside from the drums, they each play the piano, their string instrument (banjo for Scott, guitar for Seth), and sing, mixing up each combination per song. This is what made them one of the greatest live acts on the planet. Don't worry though, they still put on a good show (wiping tears away, blowing nose).
I also have more bad news, the tickets are $50, but the good news is the extra money goes to support a cool idea and a good cause, the Terra Nova Community Farm at Terra Nova High School in Portland. Unfortunately, I doubt the Farm will be getting $13 per ticket like Ticketmaster will.
