THE AVETT BROTHERS AT RED ROCKS

Friday, September 4, 2020 at 10:30 pm on WOUB

– A Joyous Concert of the Band’s Greatest Hits At The Stunning Concert Venue –

 

Three-time Grammy Award® nominees The Avett Brothers’ energetic and eclectic combination of bluegrass, country, punk, pop melodies, folk, rock and roll, indie rock, honky-tonk, and ragtime has been delighting concert audiences nationwide since the band’s founding in 2001. On July 7, 2019, they celebrated their sixth consecutive year of sold-out concerts at Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre, the world’s only naturally-occurring, acoustically perfect amphitheater, located just outside of Denver. Over 9,000 fans danced, sang, and cheered — it was the perfect way to spend a warm summer evening. Now, that magical night is available for PBS viewers. THE AVETT BROTHERS AT RED ROCKS is part of special programming beginning in August on PBS stations.

THE AVETT BROTHERS AT RED ROCKS features performances of “Live and Die,” “Down with the Shine,” “Head Full of Doubt,” “High Steppin,’” “Ain’t No Man,” “Laundry Room” and more.

“What stands out most about the Avett Brothers is that they are real people who play real music,” said Terry Lickona, executive producer of AUSTIN CITY LIMITS. “Their live shows are always magical. Their songs are honest and intensely personal in a way that anyone can relate to. If you’re one of their hardcore fans, you feel like you’re all part of one big, very special family. They’ve been AUSTIN CITY LIMITS favorites for over 10 years.”

The Avett Brothers made their major label debut in 2009 with the album I and Love and You, landing at #16 on the Billboard Top 200 and garnering critical acclaim from Rolling Stone, Paste, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times and Time. The Carpenter (2012) hit #4 on the Billboard Top 200, received enthusiastic reviews from People, USA Today and American Songwriter, and was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Americana Album. Magpie and the Dandelion (2013), their eighth studio album, debuted at #5 on the Billboard Top 200. True Sadness (2016), hit #1 on Billboard’s Top Albums Chart, #1 Top Rock Albums Chart, #1 Digital Albums Chart, #3 on the Billboard Top 200 and scored two Grammy nominations. The Avett Brothers were inducted into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame in 2016 and continue to be revered as one of the top folk-rock acts in the country.
