The Greatest Band Ever From the Charlotte Area


Herbert The Love Bug

Recommended Posts

Concord band, The Avett Brothers have been my favorite band for the better part of the last decade. I used to watch them all the time in small bars around Concord and Charlotte(Double Door Inn, Amos, Fat City, the neighborhood theatre, George Washington Tavern) among many others. Over the past couple years they have blown up and become widely successful all over the globe. recently performing on the Grammys with Bob Dylan. It's so amazing to me because I grew up right down the road from their farm and have been around them my whole life. They are still so humble even though they are so successful. Two of the nicest guys I know. They don't drive expensive flashy cars or live in really nice house. They donate a good portion of their money to charity. When they aren't on the road they are busting their butts working hard on the farm. They will always take the time to talk to you if you run into them in public. I am just so happy for their success. They really deserve it. Scott is a graduate of East Carolina University and has an art Gallery in Brooklyn New York now. Scott and Seth can each play about any instrument and are so talented. Their music crosses so many genres. They have about 10 albums. Go buy/download them. They have a new album coming out this spring with over 20 songs on it.

They blew some minds on CMT artists of the Year. Including Taylor Swifts:

I wish I could get into them..I've tried...I just can't do it ..I know I'm probably the only person in the world who doesn't like them..

I do like that one song...I and love and you..that's a great song

Don't worry I'm with ya

I want to like them cuz I try to support my local musicians as much as possible, but I just don't get it. They're a huge success though and you can't argue with that.

Plus they were a struggling metal band for years, so they're kinda the local story of hope.

Agree as well...I've tried to and just can't get into it. But are you telling me that the Avett Brothers were a metal band at one time!!!??? How strange.

And to the original post....Someone needs to clarify if they are from Concord or Mt Pleasant. People I know in Concord stake claim to them but people I know in Mt Pleasant stake claim to them also.

I think there needs to be a Concord vs. Mt. Pleasant Avett Brother tug o war this spring at some tractor festival or something. I will make t-shirts someone bring pie.

    • Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.
    • If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?
    • Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
