The Avett Brothers made mainstream waves with their 2009 major-label debut, I and Love and
You, landing at No. 16 on the Billboard Top 200 and garnering critical acclaim. 2012 saw The
Carpenter hit No. 4 on the Billboard Top 200 and was followed by Magpie and the Dandelion
(2013) which debuted at No. 5 on Billboard’s Top 200 and saw the band appear twice on Jimmy
Kimmel Live! True Sadness (2016) achieved The Avett Brothers’ highest career debut to date
hitting No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Albums Chart, No. 1 Top Rock Albums Chart, No. 1 Digital
Albums Chart, No. 3 on Billboard Top 200, and scoring two GRAMMY® nominations. In the
same year, the band was inducted into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame. In 2017, the
band released their critically acclaimed documentary May It Last: A Portrait of The Avett
Brothers, which was co-directed by Judd Apatow and Michael Bonfiglio. The film followed the
band as they wrote their GRAMMY® nominated album True Sadness. The film was released
theatrically and on HBO to rave reviews and critical acclaim and is now available on
DVD/Blu-Ray/VOD. In November 2018, the band headlined the concert for Hurricane Florence
Relief in Greenville, North Carolina, raising $325,000 to help those affected by Hurricane
Florence.

Four new songs have recently been released (“Roses and Sacrifice,” “Trouble Letting Go,”
“Neapolitan Sky,” “High Steppin’”) in anticipation of new album Closer Than Together to be
released on October 4, 2019.
