If you put your ear to the street, you can hear the rumble of the world in motion; people going to and from work, to school, to the grocery store. You may even hear the whisper of their living rooms, their conversation, their complaints, and if you're lucky, their laughter. If you're almost anywhere in America , you'll hear something different, something special, something you recognize but haven't heard in a long time. It is the sound of a real celebration It is not New Year's, and it is not a political convention. It is neither a prime time game-show, nor a music video countdown, bloated with fame and sponsorship. What you are hearing is the love for a music. It is the unbridled outcry of support for a song that sings to the heart, that dances with the soul. The jubilation is in the theaters, the bars, the music clubs, the festivals. The love is for a band. The songs are honest: just chords with real voices singing real melodies. But, the heart and the energy with which they are sung, is really why people are talking, and why so many sing along. They are a reality in a world of entertainment built with smoke and mirrors, and when they play, the common man can break the mirrors and blow the smoke away, so that all that's left behind is the unwavering beauty of the songs. That's the commotion, that's the celebration, and wherever The Avett Brothers are tonight, that's what you'll find.

Please dear god, for the love of christ (it is about to be his birthday and all). Bring it at the Asheville show. Like back in the day when you used to play at Stella Blue and such, like the times when I could buy one or three of you a beer or a whiskey after the show. We miss you. Us, Your Family,
REMIND us of the old
METAL
PUNK ROCK
ART NOISE
we all listened too. And our old mountain song church tent revival that is our roots.
I hope LA did not change you to much. I hope you can still ride by the old mill and think of how it once seemed grand like the biggest building ever, and how the dollar theater was something you looked forward to Fridays, and hide and go seek games after long rides on your go-carts in the woods was why you woke up on a Sunday morning.
We never got to leave, and we will never stop loving you.
rock it out guys PLEASE like it is your first time and like it is your last time
