Avett Brothers to play Moline this fall
The Avett Brothers will make their first appearance at Moline’s Vibrant Arena Friday, Oct. 25, 2024. Tickets (starting at $59.50) go on sale Friday, March 22 at 10 a.m.
Three-time Grammy Award nominees The Avett Brothers made mainstream waves with their critically acclaimed 2009 major label debut, “I And Love And You,” according to a tour release. In 2012, “The Carpenter” hit #4 on the Billboard Top 200, followed by “Magpie And The Dandelion” in 2013, which debuted at #5 on the Billboard 200. In 2016, the band was inducted into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame.
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 debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top Albums, #1 on Rock Albums, #3 on the Billboard 200, and scored two Grammy nominations.
The band’s latest album, “The Third Gleam,” debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Americana/Folk Albums chart, #1 Rock Albums, and #1 Vinyl Albums, and the single “Victory” hit #1 on the Americana Radio Singles Chart.
“Swept Away,” a musical inspired by and featuring the music of The Avett Brothers, premiered in January 2022 at Berkeley Repertory Theatre to rave reviews from audiences and critics and recently wrapped a limited pre-Broadway engagement at D.C.’s Arena Stage, the band release said.
It played in Washington this past December. John Logan, the Tony-winning playwright of 2009’s “Red” and screenwriter behind “Gladiator,” “The Aviator” and “Skyfall,” “smartly weaves threads of fact-based tragedy and tunes from the Avett Brothers’ folksy songbook (“Mignonette” and beyond) into a tight, 90-minute yarn,” the Washington Post review said.
The band closed out 2023 with their 20th-annual hometown New Year’s Eve celebration and will be touring across the country for much of this year.
The Moline show tickets are available at the Vibrant Arena box office (1201 River Drive, Moline) and www.ticketmaster.com. You can listen to the band’s “Love Of A Girl” HERE.
