I have loved the “Gleam†series that the Avetts occasionally put out. It is the band in its most simple form. Let’s face it, the Avett Brothers have become more able than anyone in Americana to write Anthemic ballads. As they have grown, their lineup and live shows have also become bigger. They are in […]

This probably shouldn’t be a surprise given his background in the uber-popular acapella group Pentatonix. I must admit to not being much of a fan of them or acapella groups in general. […]
The Wood Brothers – Kingdom in My Mind
On January 24th the Wood Brothers will be releasing their new album “Kingdom in my Mindâ€. It is an eclectic, edgy and experimental collection of songs that were put together in an unorthodox manner.
