Three-time Grammy Award^® nominees The Avett Brothers made mainstream waves with their critically acclaimed 2009 major label debut, I and Love and You. In 2012, The Carpenter hit No. 4 on the Billboard 200, followed by Magpie and the Dandelion in 2013, which debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200. The 2017 documentary May It Last: A Portrait of The Avett Brothers (co-directed by Judd Apatow and Michael Bonfiglio) chronicles the process of writing 2016’s True Sadness, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s top albums and rock albums charts and at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and scored two Grammy nominations. The film was released theatrically and on HBO to rave reviews and is available on DVD/BluRay/VOD.

In 2019, the band released their 10th studio album Closer Than Together featuring the single “High Steppin’” which reached No. 1 on the Americana radio singles chart. The Third Gleam came out amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Americana/folk albums, rock albums and vinyl albums charts, and the single “Victory” hit No. 1 on the Americana radio singles chart.

This year saw the release of The Avett Brothers, an album that is as much untitled as it is self-titled: a collection of songs that revealed themselves naturally over time. The Avett Brothers have been inducted into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame and recently earned a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Americana Music Association. They celebrated the Broadway debut Swept Away in fall 2024, a musical inspired by and featuring the music of The Avett Brothers.
