The Avett Brothers, an American folk-rock band formed in 2000, are a musical duo composed of two brothers, Scott Avett (banjo, lead vocals, guitar, piano, and kick-drum) and Seth Avett (guitar, lead vocals, piano, hi-hat). Along with Bob Crawford (double bass, electric bass, violin, backing vocals) and Joe Kwon (cello, backing vocals), they form the core of the band that hails from Concord, North Carolina. Renowned for their energetic and intimate live performances, The Avett Brothers blend bluegrass, country, punk, pop melodies, folk, rock and roll, honky-tonk, and ragtime to create a sound uniquely their own.

Their evolution from acoustic roots to a more orchestral ensemble has won them a significant following and critical acclaim over the years, with the 2009 album "I and Love and You" being a significant breakthrough. It catapulted them to national attention, paving the way for subsequent successful albums like "The Carpenter," which earned a Grammy nomination for Best Americana Album in 2013, and "True Sadness," which garnered two Grammy nominations in 2017. The Avett Brothers' discography is marked by emotional honesty, harmonious spirit, and musical fluidity, as evident in their recent projects such as "The Third Gleam" and "Closer Than Together," where they continue to delve into human truths and universal sentiments.
