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?

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.

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.

I would love so much to be able to see them! So far I've only listened to their most recent album via iTunes, I and Love and You, but I want more!

Reviving this thread to say the concert was last night and the Avetts were awesome! If you get a chance to see them, go.
The audience was so enthusiastic. It reminded me of the sixties/seventies when people my age lived for the music, knew all the words to the songs and so forth.
Everyone stood up through most of the concert -- which I guess could be obnoxious, but it seemed so sincere. Thank goodness for biker muscles and music-fueled adrenaline because I stoop up to and didn't get tired.
