The Avett Brothers Discuss Their Family Dynamic & Working With Rick Rubin

Austin City Limits isn't like most music festivals, and folk rock group the Avett Brothers couldn't be more appreciative of that. "Our love and the love returning to us has been awesome in Texas. ACL, just as an extension of that, an emphasis of that... it's got all the weight that all the big festivals have, but it's got a really great, relaxing vibe that feels welcoming and fun," frontman Scott Avett told us. "Fun to come and play at and do our thing."

Like the name suggests, the band began with two brothers, something multi-instrumentalist Seth Avett doesn't take lightly. "I know I’ve always been appreciative of having a built in bloodline in our travels," he says. "All the business ventures, the showmanship side of it, the whole thing is just a little bit safer because you’ve got someone you can just trust 100 percent, right there."
