The Avett Brothers are coming back to Charlotte for a show at Bojangles’ Coliseum on April 9.Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. next Friday (Feb. 4) through Ticketmaster. Prices range from $25 to $45. Grace Potter and the Nocturnals will open.
It’s the first full Charlotte show for the Concord-based band since they played Bojangles’ in August 2009. They played a set at Manifest Discs this past October to promote the “Live, Volume 3” CD and DVD, which was taken from the Bojangles’ show.
The band – brothers Scott and Seth Avett, plus Bob Crawford and Joe Kwon – has been touring all over the United States and Canada, including a sold-out show at Radio City Music Hall in New York. They also toured in Europe and Australia.
The band formed in 2001 and put out 10 CDs before their first major-label release, “I and Love and You,” came out on Columbia Records in September ’09. Dolph Ramseur, the band’s manager, said it has sold 310,000 copies worldwide, including 272,000 copies in the U.S.
Ramseur said the Avetts have started working on a new record with Rick Rubin, who also produced “I and Love and You.” Rubin is co-chairman of the Columbia label and has produced hit records for artists including Jay-Z, Johnny Cash and Metallica.

It's always awesome to see local homegrown talent make it big time! Congrats Avetts on your success!
ReplyDeleteExcited to have a chance to see them again in a local venue! The last show at Bojangles was magical and I can't wait to see them again!
ReplyDeleteThey should have a great local(Florence, SC) band called Sequoyah
ReplyDeleteopen for them.
Who is opening? Saw that they are performing with Band of Horse in Alabama on the first of April....any chance of that happening here....please, please, please....
ReplyDeleteThis show should've been booked at the Road Runner Mobile Amphitheatre.
ReplyDeleteNot my style of music but good to see local folks do well just hate to hear Hancock on WBT 'talk up' the band for the next few months--
ReplyDeleteGrace Potter is opening. I bet Band of Horses never comes here again. Last time they did, the attendance was rather sparse. Besides the fact they always draw a ton more in Chapel Hill and Asheville, live in Charleston and the singer being from Columbia, there are just too many places close by that they'll draw better in. Never say never though.
ReplyDeleteShould be a great concert. Love GRace Potter as well!
ReplyDeleteI like Hancock!
