THE AVETT BROTHERS
MANIFEST THEIR NEW RECORD NATIONWIDE:
National Album Release Party
Friday, July 30th
New Single ³Swept Away²: 8TH Most Added Track at CMJ Chart
"As with most things extraordinary, putting the appeal of The Avett
Brothers into words is difficult at best, and to try and categorize them
is a futile assignment. There is a charisma to this trio that makes them
impossible to forget, and like the game of hockey, seeing them "LIVE" will
forever imprint them onto you favorites list."
-John Hancock, WBT AM/FM Radio,Charlotte, NC
³The Avett's rough-hewn
charm gives their music a sense of delight and excitement rarely found in
the offerings of the normal run-of-the-mill alt-country bands on today's
scene . . . sound like two young brothers who have listened to The Violent
Femmes, The Ramones and The Beatles, and that's a good thing.²
-BJ Weikert, Rockzilla.net
"They are one of the most
unique acts I'd caught in years. The music, which they write themselves,
combines influences of acts like The Band and The Kingston Trio with
countless other retro and contemporary shadings.²
-Phil Sweetland, contributor for The New York Times
³ . . .exudes much of the
same exhilarating sense of discovery that characterized Uncle Tupelo's
March 16-20, 1992 and the Gourds' Dem's Good Beeble. It¹s as if the
Concord, NC-based Avetts stumbled upon a stack of recordings from fellow
brothers the Stanleys and the Louvins just a week before.
-Rick Cornell, No Depression Magazine
--------------------------------------------------------------
(Nashville, TN)-- The
Avett Brothers new album, Mignonette, will be released to stores
