The Avett Brothers take the stage at the Illinois State Fair Grandstand on August 20th
Four-time Grammy Award nominees The Avett Brothers achieved mainstream success with their critically acclaimed 2009 major-label debut, I and Love and You. In 2012, The Carpenter reached #4 on the Billboard 200, followed by Magpie and the Dandelion in 2013, which debuted at #5. 2024 brought the release of The Avett Brothers, an album that is as much untitled as it is self-titled: a collection of songs that revealed themselves naturally over time. That same year, Swept Away — a musical inspired by & featuring the music of The Avett Brothers — debuted on Broadway to rave reviews.
