Buffalo’s bluegrass fans have been in a tizzy since January, when the Avett Brothers announced they’d be playing at Artpark in May. Tonight, after 5 months of growing anticipation, the band of brothers takes the stage in what promises to be a twangy good time. The Avett Brothers shows have something for everyone; whether you’re an old fan hoping to hear one of their many classics or a new fan looking for an enjoyable introduction to “newgrass”, it’s impossible not to be electrified by their folky musicianship and thought-provoking lyrics.
The band, led by brothers Seth and Scott Avett, has a knack for combining Americana, bluegrass, and rock styles; their ability to modernize it keeps them at the forefront of the growing folk music resurgence. Seeing them outdoors on a hazy summer day is an experience not to be missed. General seating tickets are sold out, but lawn tickets are still available for $38.00. Gates open at 7pm.
