I went down to the Grand Opera House<\/a> in Wilmington for a concert earlier this week. The venue itself was very nice and had great acoustics, although it wasn’t really the kind of venue I’d picture for the Avett Brothers<\/a>. My parents saw them play at the Troc<\/a> last year, which is much more suitable to the kind of crowd they draw (room is needed for standing and dancing, not seating). I loved the opener, Langhorne Slim<\/a>. He played solo so it was a nice little acoustic session. I forgot to bring my camera but I recommend checking out his songs Get a Little Happy<\/a> and Honey Pie<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On to the Avett Brothers themselves. The two brothers play guitar and banjo, and drums with their feet, with another guy on upright bass. For this concert they also had a cello player for some songs. These guys play their instruments so hard that they needed to be retuned between almost every song, and restrung a few times throughout the night. They’re very high energy, which is what I love about them most. Some songs to check out are Talking Blues<\/a>, When I Drink<\/a>, and Talk on Indolence<\/a>. I found someone else’s video from the concert I was at, for the song Solomon:<\/p>\n
