About The Avett Brothers

The Avett Brothers are Scott and Seth Avett, a folk-rock duo from North Carolina who've built a following on earnest songwriting and relentless touring. They started playing together in the late 90s, blending traditional folk instrumentation with rock energy and often uncomfortable emotional honesty. Songs like 'Murder in the City' showcase their ability to write about mundane life—a brother talking to his younger sibling about mortality and responsibility—with the weight of something profound. Their albums wander between stripped-down acoustic records and fuller rock arrangements, but the throughline is always their voices and Scott's violin. They're known for writing about family, doubt, faith, and working-class life without making any of it feel precious. By the 2010s they'd become one of the more durable indie acts in America, headlining festivals and selling out theaters through sheer work ethic and word of mouth.

Their shows feel like someone opened a door to their living room. Crowds sing every word back, especially on the slower moments. There's a lot of genuine emotion in the room without it turning sappy. They play for hours. People cry. Some people drive very far to see them again.

The Avett Brothers + Salt Lake City

The Avett Brothers brought their particular brand of folk-country catharsis to Maverik Center in July 2023, playing deep into their catalog with the kind of specificity that suggests they know exactly who shows up for them. They opened with a gospel standard, "Just a Closer Walk With Thee," then moved through their own material with the ease of a band that's been doing this long enough to trust the songs. The setlist balanced their heavier moments—"True Sadness," "Paranoia in B-Flat Major"—against the quieter, more introspective cuts like "Laundry Room" and "Talk on Indolence." Twenty-six songs in, they closed with "No Hard Feelings," which feels about right for a band that makes a living out of working through complicated emotional terrain without pretending there are easy answers.

Stay in the Avenues neighborhood—tree-lined streets with actual character, close enough to downtown but removed from the noise.

The city's proximity to actual mountains matters when you've got downtime.
