Purely by coincidence or karma or what’s that other thing?

Serendipity? Anyway, my pal Pauly hips me to The Avett Brothers earlier in the week. Friday night, I’m at a shindig, and a video from the Avetts pops up. I love this song mucho grande:
And it turns out they’re playing Dallas at the end of April (that’s as close as they’re getting.) I might have to make a rare schoolnight show. Just so I can say I saw ‘em, so as to impress absolutely nobody.

Wow, awesome when things like that happen.

Wow. Never heard of them, but now I’m going to have to pick up their cd. The lead singer has a very Angus Young look to him when he’s playing.

Frank, they’re very Gourds-ish, and I love that kind of thing. If you find you like these dudes, I highly recommend checking out the Gourds. Hell, I should have put one of their vids up. Maybe I’ll do that now.
Pauly, you rule, dude…awesome taste.

Avetts rock. Local NC boys have built up an amazing following around here and are headlining Merlefest Friday night the last weekend in April. They kick ass live, have fun!
Saw one of your Texas boys last night - Robert Earl Keen. Always puts on a great show.

Definitely a must-see, TFG. Always worth the outlay.
