the Payola Collective

There are bands that you listen to and then there are bands that you connect with through their music on a much deeper level than producer and consumer. The Avett Brothers is one of the few bands that I am a fan boy over. I think what draws me to their music is it’s lack of irony. They sincerely mean what they sing about and play their style of folk / country / punk / indie without an ounce of parody.  NPR has premiered their video for the song, Head Full of Doubt/Road Full of Promise off of their record, I and Love and You. It’s all done in oil paint and covers what must be a few hundred years. I really like the feel of it and it fits perfectly with the song.
The Avett Brothers are playing next week in Spokane and I unfortunately could not get tickets.  I have been searching high and low for a couple of seats anywhere for me and my wife. If you have any gathering dust, I’ll give them a good home.
