I first saw The Avett Brothers with my brother Kevin in Winston-Salem at an outdoor concert back in 2006. Tonight at 11:59 EDT they hit the stage at SXSW (listen live / archive). For those web and music jocks not yet exposed to The Avett’s I can think of no better statement for what you will experience (actually I wacked the title from NPR, but who’s counting).

Video here is from the Winston show courtesy YouTuber twicetreasured who ironically seems to also have a Chris Cook thing, a band I saw last night in Belmont and who’s playing the world famous Double Door Inn in Charlotte this Sunday, March 22, 2009. Go figure that synergy.
