The Greatest Band Ever From the Charlotte Area

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.

      So, Is Bryce Playing this Week or Nah?

      By strato · Posted

      Theilen came back and Bryce had him. Which he was lost for Andy after the first game, or am I wrong on that?    And people are so overrating most of those Bryce games. There were a couple of good ones and a very good one. Of his basically two complete very good games. That Atlanta game in that stretch and the Dallas game this year being the complete ones. Maybe I missed one but the 2023 Green Bay game was really a very good 4th quarter and a average 1st half. Maybe I missed another but that NYG Europe game was nothing to brag about yet people did. Just sayin.  I mean you can name his really nice games on one hand. Out of how many now? 33? 34? Something like that.

      So, the goal that should not have been a goal.... https://www.nhl.com/news/carolina-hurricanes-colorado-avalanche-coach-challenge-x1595 Challenge Initiated By: Carolina Type of Challenge: Missed Game Stoppage Event – High-Sticking the Puck Result: Original call confirmed – Goal Colorado Explanation: The Situation Room supported the Referee’s call on the ice that Parker Kelly’s stick was not above the normal height of his shoulders when he contacted the puck at 15:31 of the second period (4:29 elapsed time) – 17 seconds prior to his goal. The decision was made in accordance with Rule 80.1. Penalty: 2:00 minor penalty: Delay of Game – Unsuccessful Challenge ------------------------------------------------------------ How the challenge was interpreted as a high stick challenge is beyond me. What I cannot find is what/how RBA challenged the goal and how it was reviewed as a high stick goal when Stevie Wonder could see the hand extending off Kelly's stick, essentially grabbing at the puck and it went by Freddie.
