The Avett Brothers at KEMBA Live!, Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 20, 2024

The Avett Brothers of 2024 are a band in flux. While the seven-piece touring lineup remains the same, the group is supporting a pop-leaning LP and talks from the stage about working, more than playing, for its audience.

So it went that seven of the nine tracks from 2024’s the Avett Brothers made up nearly one-third of the band’s Aug. 20 outdoor gig on an unseasonably chilly, full-moon night in Columbus, Ohio, at a pretty much sold-out KEMBA Live! The musicians were more emotive vocally and physically than in the past, infusing new songs like “Never Apart (w/Vocal Prelude)” and “Orion’s Belt” with choreographed moves and making what was once organic joy feel contrived.

During these and other new numbers, Seth and Scott Avett struggled to align their harmonies and Joe Kwon’s cello and Tania Elizabeth’s violin were more adult-contemporary orchestral than down-home Americana as Scott Avett kneeled and slapped hands with audience members and Seth Avett struck rock-star poses under a backdrop of gold praying hands, a disco ball and kaleidoscopic lights.

It was nearly 30 minutes into the two-hour show when flashes of yesterday’s Avetts appeared, when the septet lit into Doc Watson’s instrumental “Black Mountain Rag” and Seth Avett’s electric guitar added a rock element to his bandmates’ country drive.

Scott Avett performed “Murder in the City” solo and acoustic and the Avett brothers and bassist Bob Crawford got folksy around one mic on “I Wish I Was.” Elizabeth continued the unplugged theme with her rambunctious solo spot pairing the instrumental “Le Reel Du Pendu” with the vocal-and-fiddle “Les Barres De La Prison” and earning a raucous response from the audience, a large number of whom began streaming out about halfway through the gig.

The vast majority who stuck around as space opened up in the lawn sang lovingly to the balladic “I and Love and You” and lustily to “Kick Drum Heart.”

The four-song encore continued the contours of the main set, beginning with the mindlessness of Toby Keith’s “As Good as I Once Was” by the Avetts/Crawford trio and ending, as virtually every Avetts show does, with the riveting, deeply thoughtful “No Hard Feelings” by the full band.

But even this magical song - which typically leaves Sound Bites in tears - produced only a lump in the throat, summing up an atypically tepid evening with the Avett Brothers.

The Avett Brothers: From Touring Musicians to Broadway Stars

The Journey of the Avett Brothers: From Touring Musicians to Broadway Sensations In the early years of the 21st century, long before the Avett Brothers achieved their status as a top-tier band with multiple Grammy nominations and chart-topping albums, they were simply three young musicians, tirelessly touring in their van. Their unique sound—a compelling fusion of folk, rock, and…

Song Review: The Avett Brothers - “Country Kid”

The Avett Brothers look back on “Country Kid,” singing of fire ants, Winnie the Pooh, hiding smokes from adults, making out with trailer-park girls and the like.

The second single from the Avett Brothers (May 17) is a formulaic pop song outfitted with banjo and fiddle to provide titular bonafides as the Brothers extoll rural vices and virtues:

Then I grew up and hit the city/but the skyscrapers never get me/I fly above ’em all the time, straight through cloud nine/flowing fast like the Mississippi

“Country Kid” is generic and leans toward bro-country; lacking the elements that make the Avetts’ best work so irresistible. It is, however, much stronger than the preceding “Love of a Girl.”
