Four-time GRAMMY Award nominees The Avett Brothers made mainstream waves with their critically acclaimed 2009 major label debut, I and Love and You. In 2012, The Carpenter was released, followed by Magpie and the Dandelion in 2013, Closer Than Together in 2019, and The Third Gleam, created during the pandemic. This past year saw the release of The Avett Brothers, an album that is as much untitled as it is self-titled: a collection of songs that revealed themselves naturally over time.

The 2017 documentary May It Last: A Portrait of The Avett Brothers, co-directed by Judd Apatow and Michael Bonfiglio, chronicles the process of writing 2016’s True Sadness, which scored two Grammy nominations.

The Avett Brothers have been inducted into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame and recently earned a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Americana Music Association. This past fall saw the Broadway debut of Swept Away, a musical inspired by and featuring the music of The Avett Brothers.
