The Avett Brothers will be opening up for Dave Matthews (don’t even front, I know that most of you have an album or two and Two Step is probably one of my all time favorite songs) on their upcoming tour, but they also have a ton of new solo dates below. The Hermanos Avett will be releasing their forthcoming album, Emotionalism (May 15th), and I’m extremely eager to the Rick Rubin produced album to see what he adds to the mix. Here’s an interview where they discuss their recording process and opening up for DMB.
