Any Avett Brothers fans?

They are going to be in town close to my birthday, so I'm buying myself tickets for a present. They are at Radio City Music Hall which I guess is good for them because it means they are successful. But somehow the Avetts at Radio City seems so wrong.

I know nothing about them, but I love the 2 or 3 songs I've heard them play on XM radio. I have an email in my inbox that I wrote to myself to GET THEIR DANG CD and I still haven't gotten it. Too busy. Don't even know where my Ipod is.

Are they some kind of alternative counterculture thing or what? Too cool for RCMH?

Okay, I just read their wiki entry.

Which CD do you recommend I get first? I could potentially love them like I love Barenaked Ladies.

I first saw the Avett Brothers when they were opening for BR549 a few years ago. I asked an Avett fan what type of music, and they said "Imagine if the Ramones played bluegrass." I can't beat that description.

Here's my current favorite (not as lively as they can be, but nice):

Very popular at our house.
They are a current favorite play by our teen sons and hubby & I enjoy when they pop up on our sat-radios.
Our eldest son plays several songs on his guitar.
