Here’s the latest big announcement from the Avett Brothers. Great news!

We are honored and excited to announce that our only NC performance in the first six months of 2010 will be on Sunday, May 2nd at 3:30PM.

We will be closing the 23rd annual edition of MerleFest, on the Campus of Wilkes Community College in Wilkesboro, NC…and we’re giving you all the first chance at tickets!

We have attended MerleFest, as fans and as performers, since 1994. There is not a finer or more welcoming music festival in the country. Those who make their way to Wilkes Community College for the event this year will find, as they would any year, a sincere and friendly place where the music is as colorful and beautiful as the North Carolina countryside that leads them there. MerleFest offers four days of absolute quality for the music-loving family. For us, in terms of performance, it is very much like coming home. 

Fantastic! Click here to see my photo gallery from the last time the Avett Brothers played MerleFest.
