Talk:The Avett Brothers

The intro part seems very promotional. can someone change that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.127.51.194 (talk) 23:55, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Religious Beliefs
Scott Avett has said he admires the life and work of Jesus Christ, leading to believe he is a follower of Christianity. Their song "Me and God" reflect this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Veitnam2 (talk • contribs) 02:00, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Opening Paragraph....
The last line in the opening paragraph is copy-pasted from a CMT.com music biography of the Avett Brothers. Although it is properly cited, its colloquial tone is incongruous with that of the rest of the article and does not provide any particularly useful information. Therefore, I have removed it.

Bob Crawford Page
Why was Bob Crawford redirected here? He's a musician and permanent part of the band. Wuapinmon (talk) 23:41, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

More than Banjo - Guitar
The brothers are both multi-instrumentalists and are much more than 'One plays Banjo - the other plays Guitar'. I don't know enough about them to know who's who - but I've seen them playing keyboards, all manner of electric and acoustic stringed instruments, and percussion. The opening makes it sound like they're just a bluegrass act, which is untrue - their repertoire covers quite a range of styles. Moucon (talk) 06:40, 7 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I expanded their instruments. --Trevor Bolliger (talk) 22:20, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

Slammed series
Should there be mention of how extensively they are mentioned in Colleen Hoover's "Slammed" trilogy books? She mentions in an interview that their music was instrumental in encouraging her to write. http://www.mediabistro.com/galleycat/avett-brothers-colleenhoover-slammed_b52675. She even promoted her book on their website with her permission. I know it is not an "appearance" by the band per SE, but this close relationship should be mentioned, no? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.49.57.248 (talk) 01:07, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

Departure of drummer Jacob Edwards
I'm just posting here to help others avoid going down a rabbit hole that I fell into a couple days ago. About six months after Edwards left the band (which was in December 2012), there was a published report that his departure was related to issues going on in the marriage of Seth Avett; specifically, that Edwards had confronted Avett about alleged infidelity, taking the "side" of Avett's then-wife Susan Avett in the matter. The report was in Radar Online (https://radaronline.com/exclusives/2013/06/jennifer-carpenter-affair-avett-brothers-drummer/). And it was explicitly addressed in an interview that Seth and Scott Avett gave in Rolling Stone (https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/the-avett-brothers-long-road-233149/):


 * It didn’t help when Radar Online reported that the band’s former drummer, Jacob Edwards, was fired after confronting Seth about the affair. “That was just crazy,” says Scott of the story. “He just didn’t work out in the band.”

Rolling Stone being a more reputable source than Radar Online (and the fact that the "source" in the Radar Online report is anonymous), I credit this denial and accept that Edwards' departure was unrelated. I should also add, I couldn't find any on-the-record accounts that the departure was related to Avett's marriage that would corroborate the Radar Online account.

Discography request
I think it would be valuable to add a list of their works/ albums (https://www.theavettbrothers.com/albums) MaryAliceH (talk) 19:52, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Under their Discography section is a link to The Avett Brothers discography which includes items which do not appear in the main page list, per MOS:DISCOGRAPHY.-- ☾Loriendrew☽   ☏(ring-ring)  20:18, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
