North Carolina acoustic rock outfit the Avett Brothers have postponed their Oct. 23 WMNF gig at Skipper's Smokehouse in Tampa Cuban Club in Ybor City.

I'm usually irked at this kind of shit, especially since my advance piece for the show already went to print for the edition that hits newsstands Wednesday.

But the reason the band gave is solid. Singer/banjoist Scott Avett and his wife are having their first child. Congrats, y'all. Here's the interview I did with Scott last December.
