The Avett Brothers return to Britt after a highly acclaimed appearance in 2008. Comprised of brothers Seth and Scott Avett on guitar and banjo, respectively, and Bob Crawford on stand-up bass, the band combines bluegrass, country, punk, pop melodies, folk, rock ‘n' roll, honky tonk and ragtime. The result is a sound described by the San Francisco Chronicle as having the "heavy sadness of Townes Van Zandt, the light pop concision of Buddy Holly, the tuneful jangle of the Beatles, the raw energy of the Ramones." The band plans a summer 2009 release for their new album, which is produced by Grammy-winning producer Rick Rubin. Their Britt performance is the only Oregon play of their summer tour.
