EMOTIONALISM from the Avett Brothers is the defining, emotionally-arresting statement of the new indie alternative folk movement. Melding rock, punk, jazz and gospel, the Avetts are reinventing roots music. They've become one of the hottest grassroots touring bands in recent memory with shows that have become the stuff of legend. Their signature intensity has catapulted them from tiny college pubs to Bonnaroo. With EMOTIONALISM and a massive U.S. headlining tour that includes Coachella, Bumbershoot and Telluride, the Avett Brothers are poised to break wide open.
