I was only recently exposed to the Avett Brothers, a bluegrass-influenced band from North Carolina. They have been around since 2000, and have released MANY albums, all of which highlight the groups’ unique abilities. Their newest album, I and Love and You, is an admirable effort that taps into the upbeat melodies that make their genre of music so special.

Their song “Laundry Room” is sure to win fans with an incredible depth and precise lyrics. While it’s easy to at times make comparisons to artists such as Sufjan Stevens, the Avett Brothers have a distinct sound that is remarkably different. Any fan of indie folk and bluegrass will love this band, so check them out now. It won’t be long until this band is mainstream, so take advantage of the wholesome music they produce now before it’s too late (thanks for the tip Annie!).
