I saw The Avett Brothers live a few weeks ago for the first time. Without exageration, they put on the best live performance I've ever seen. Just the sheer energy that they play with is incredible. I never thought that I would enjoy a cello solo so much, but the cello player was jammin'! There were a couple times that the banjo playing put me over the edge and I had to laugh out loud because it was so awesome! Great band, might want to check out Kalai, Joshua James and The Black Keys.
