Fifteen years after bringing a then-fresh brand of singalong Americana to a since-demolished Cuban Club bandshell in Ybor City, Seth and Scott Avett, plus longtime bandmates Bob Crawford and Joe Kwon, are still at it.
The Avett Brothers—which plays a much bigger venue this fall—has racked up a trio of Grammy nominations since then and arrives in Clearwater with its 11th studio album in tow. The self-titled effort finds the boys once again in the studio with Rick Rubin, who brought the Avetts to the mainstream in 2009, and updating their sound a bit with flourishes of ‘70s songwriter vibes and a touch of ‘90s-rock, too.
