The folk rock group The Avett Brothers are a very successful album and touring band. The 2016 album True Sadness and the single Ain't No Man were successful in the Adult Alternative market. Scott and Seth Avett are from Concord, NC. Their father played guitar. So they have played music since they were kids. Seth had the band Margo in high school. Scott had the band Nemo in college. After the two bands merged, Nemo released three albums. The Avetts started experimenting with acoustic music and performed locally as The Back Porch Project or Nemo Downstairs. Along with Nemo guitarist John Twomey, they released a 2000 EP as The Avett Brothers. After Nemo split up, bassist Bob Crawford of the Memphis Quick 50 joined The Avett Brothers. After releasing a 2002 album on their own label, The Avett Brothers signed with local label Ramseur Records. For the 2007 album Emotionalism, cellist Joe Kwon joined The Avett Brothers. They appeared on Late Night with Conan O'Brien. They also won a couple of Americana Music Awards. Then they signed with Rick Rubin's American Recordings. Rubin has produced all their albums since then. Ain't No Man is from the 2016 album True Sadness. The single Ain't No Man topped the Adult Alternative chart. The Avett Brothers were nominated for a couple of Grammys. A documentary about the making of the album aired on HBO. There was criticism that the album was too commercial. It's available as a budget CD. The Avett Brothers latest album The Third Gleam was released in 2020. They have been touring but Scott Avett tested positive for COVID-19 so some shows will be rescheduled. Here's the video for Ain't No Man by The Avett Brothers.
