The Avett Brothers is an American folk-rock band that originated in Concord, North Carolina. Two brothers, Seth Avett and Scott Avett, formed the group in 2000 after the breakup of the former rock band, Nemo, adding a third member, Bob Crawford. Subsequently, they have been joined by cellist Joe Kwon. The Avett Brothers combine old-time country, bluegrass, punk, pop melodies, folk, rock and roll, honky tonk and ragtime to produce a sound described by the Washington Post as "post civil-war modern rock", or by other reviewers as "grungegrass".
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

[Verse]
GDCEm There’s a darkness upon me that’s flooded in light GDCEm In the fine print they tell me what’s wrong and what’s right GDCEm And it comes in black and it comes in white EmDC And I’m frightened by those that don’t see it
GDCEm When nothing is owed or deserved or expected GDCEm And your life doesn’t change by the man that’s elected GDCEm If you’re loved by someone, you’re never rejected EmDC Decide what to be and go be it
*Build up On C to go into the Chorus*
[Chorus]
CGCG There was a dream and one day I could see it CGDCDG Like a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free it CGCG And there was a kid with a head full of doubt CGDCDG--D--C--Em So I’ll scream til I die and the last of those bad thoughts are finally out
