Avett Brothers

As I sit here semi-watching ESPN over hype college football, I have the pleasure of sharing with you some of the scenes from The Avett Brothers' concert I went to  last night with five lovely ladies.

Yes, it is a

 little blurry,

 it's the picture, not them.  Apparently I have the shakes... and it took me a while to find the "limit shake" option on my camera.

Auld Lang Syne (I think?) opened the evening... well, about all that can be said of them is that they used TWO recorders at one time.  How often do you see a recorder in a band, much less two?  You can see one in the woman's hands here, the other is being played by the guy on the far side and not seen here.

Then it was Jason Webley, who played guitar (until he broke it) and an accordion (not at the same time, obviously).   He was a very spirited young lad from Seattle that did a lot of dancing/stomping around on a raised platform that amplified the sound such that it was part of the music.  Very fun stuff.

Then came the main event and I don't want to try to describe a lot of it as that would just take away from it.  I'll just say that the band played guitar, banjo, upright bass, cello, drums and a piano.  How could they not be good?
