Soundtrack

I feel like all my posts have somewhat surrounded the fact that it is now summertime. Well so be it. I am happy it is summertime and that is why I continue to focus on the topic. Anyway this blog post is going to be about my soundtrack for the summer. That soundtrack is going to include a lot of The Avett Brothers. For those of you who have not heard the Avett Brothers let me be the first to introduce you to this fantastic group. The group is made up of two brothers, Seth and Scott Avett, a stand up bass player, Bob Crawford, and a talented cello player, Joe Kwon. The group is based mainly in bluegrass but they bring a happy go lucky punk style of playing to the bluegrass genre. I know it sounds epic, and let me inform you that it is. I first heard of these guys late last semester and I had only heard a few of their songs. I enjoyed them but it was moot. Later during this past semester I went and saw them play during record store day. The show took place in the parking lot behind Grimey's Record Store in Nashville, Tennessee. I got there kind of early so I was rather close to the front and before I knew it about three hundred or more people were standing behind me. I knew that this group had something special after I saw that crowd. Then the moment of truth came and they arrived. They made there way to the front of the crowd and put on an outstanding show. There presence brought an air of joy and fun. By the time the exhausting show was over I was elated and now a true fan of these bluegrass fellers from North Carolina. It was also cool because as the whole group walked past me to go inside the store they all gave me bro hugs, it was awesome. So now as I look back and look ahead at the summer their songs constantly go through my head and I hope they might for you too. If it is the first time you are hearing of these guys I hope I have opened a wonderful door for you. Enjoy!
