Scott and Seth Avett brought their raucous, rocking, folky chaos to the Crystal Ballroom on this past Thursday.
Jessica Lea Mayfield opened. It’ll be nice to see her in a cool little room like the barn at this year’s Pickathon. She has an amazing voice.
Two years ago at Pickathon, the Avett Brothers surprised the audience with their energy. I remember there being about a dozen folks stirring up the dust as they danced and sang along. On Thursday, the spring loaded, floating floor of the Crystal felt like a trampoline as nearly all of the 1500 people at the sell out show bounced and sang along with the brothers.
