The Avett Brothers!

The fantastically talented and entertaining Avett Brothers are coming to The St. Augustine Ampitheatre Thursday evening, July 16. The show is $27.

Paste magazine did a cover story on The Avetts and their breakout popularity, their recording sessions with producer Rick Rubin (he produced Johnny Cash), their upcoming album, and their new grueling tour-all-the-time schedule.

I return to The Avetts recordings again and again to taste their fine musicianship and talented lyricism. Frankly, if anyone is talking while The Avetts are playing, I have to shut it off until I can listen intently. They are just that good.

Things to know about the venue (from the only other time I was there, to see Mofro):

The ampitheatre is covered, but outdoors
Only beer was Bud and Bud Light, and it was like, $6 or $7 a pop. So sad.
You can't leave the venue once you've gone in.
You can't bring anything in there with you (they even prohibit strollers?!WTF!)

There is cheap camping at nearby Anastasia State Park, and you can reserve a site online.
