Concert Review: The Avett Brothers - Pier Six, Baltimore 10/16/10

">

It was a cool & breezy October evening along the Inner Harbor when The Avett Brothers took to the stage.  I'm sure the stage was plenty warm though after Grace Potter & The Nocturnal's smoking opening set. The Avett Bros put together a well crafted set of material spanning their entire career. Admittedly I'm mostly familiar with their recent releases but I really enjoyed hearing some of their older material for the first time. Scott and Seth Avett have a lot of energy on stage and it seemed to flow into the crowd in the form of dancing and spontaneous ho-downs. This also marked the first time I've seen a cello player lift his instrument over his head and play it behind his back. It'll probably be the last time too, unless I go to see them again.
