Grab your (clear) bag and grab your coat. The Avett Brothers are about to have their very own, Mignonette-centered jukebox musical “Swept Away” premiere at Broadway’s Longacre Theatre, where the likes of “Jesus Christ Superstar” and “A Bronx Tale” have previously played.
But before a month or so off the road—for reasons we assume are related to oversight of the musical—Scott and Seth Avett bring the BOTB-winning Americana band is to Coachman Park for the first time since a 2017 slot at Clearwater Jazz Holiday.
Expect another emotional rollercoaster built mostly on a new, eponymous album, featuring the boys’ regular, slow-and-sweet messages of hope in darkness (“We Are Loved”) and even a couple of headbangers (“Love Of A Girl,” “Orion’s Belt,”).
