Three-time Grammy Award nominees The Avett Brothers made mainstream waves with their 2009 major
label debut I And Love And You. In 2012, The Carpenter hit #4 on the Billboard Top 200, followed by Magpie
And The Dandelion in 2013, which debuted at #5. In 2016, the band was inducted into the North Carolina
Music Hall of Fame. 2017’s documentary May It Last: A Portrait of The Avett Brothers (co-directed by Judd
Apatow and Michael Bonfiglio) chronicles the process of writing 2016’s True Sadness (which debuted at #1
on Billboard’s Top Albums chart, #1 Rock Albums, #3 on the Billboard 200 & scored 2 Grammy noms). The
film was released theatrically and on HBO to rave reviews, and is now available on DVD/Blu-Ray/VOD. The
band’s 10th studio album Closer Than Together features single “High Steppin’” which reached #1 on the Americana Radio Singles Chart. Their latest album The Third Gleam debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Americana/Folk Albums chart, #1 Rock Albums, and #1 Vinyl Albums.Single “Victory” hit #1 on the Americana Radio Singles Chart. The Avett Brothers stayed connected with fans amidst the COVID-19 pandemic by playing two sold out drive-in shows at Charlotte Motor Speedway in the span of three months. Swept Away – a musical inspired by & featuring the music of The Avett Brothers – premiered in January 2022 at Berkeley Repertory Theatre to rave reviews from audiences and critics and is currently in D.C. for a limited pre-Broadway engagement at Arena Stage.

Sierra Ferrell

With her spellbinding voice and time-bending sensibilities, Sierra Ferrell makes music that’s as fantastically
vagabond as the artist herself. Growing up in small-town West Virginia, the singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist left home in her early 20s to journey across the country with a troupe of nomadic musicians, playing everywhere from truck stops to alleyways to freight-train boxcars speeding down the railroad tracks. After years of living in her van and busking on the streets of New Orleans and Seattle, she moved to Nashville and soon landed a deal with Rounder Records on the strength of her magnetic live show. Now, on her highly anticipated label debut Long Time Coming, Ferrells shares a dozen songs beautifully unbound by genre or era, instantly transporting her audience to an infinitely more enchanted world.

Co-produced by Stu Hibberd and 10-time Grammy Award-winner Gary Paczosa (Alison Krauss, Dolly Parton, Gillian Welch), Long Time Coming embodies a delicate eclecticism fitting for a musician who utterly defies categorization. “I want my music to be like my mind is—all over the place,” says Ferrell, who recorded the album at Southern Ground and Minutia studios in Nashville.“I listen to everything from bluegrass to techno to goth metal, and it all inspires me in different ways that I try to incorporate into my songs and make people really feel something.”In sculpting the album’s chameleonic sound, Ferrell joined forces with a knock out lineup of guest musicians (including Jerry Douglas, Tim O’Brien, Chris Scruggs, Sarah Jarosz, Billy Strings, and Dennis Crouch), adding entirely new texture to each of her gracefully crafted and undeniably heartfelt songs.
