Five Questions with The Avett Brothers at MerleFest
WILKESBORO, N.C. — The Avett Brothers, Concord, North Carolina’s favorite musical sons, hit the stage at MerleFest tonight. Members of the folk rock band are no strangers to the Americana festival that has helped kick off the outdoor music season for 28 years — or to its founder, the legendary flat-picker Doc Watson. Today’s appearance is the group’s seventh at MerleFest since 2004 and their second since Watson died in 2012.
