Default An Interview With Bob Crawford of The Avett Brothers



By David Reiersgord

When I was first given the opportunity to speak with Bob Crawford, I thought of how interesting it would be to have a chance to speak to the opening band for an established act, while they were on a big rise of their own. And, similar to the act their playing in support of, they too, have a new album on the way. I and Love and You, slated for a July release, is helping produce a new direction based off a growing sense of maturity.

Bob Crawford is the bass player for The Avett Brothers. He's been with them since the beginning, back in the days of their four person van. They've now upgraded to a bus, and have even recorded an album with Rick Rubin.

Nice work, David. I didn't realize he worked with Rick Rubin. I have a photograph of Rubin on my wall. He's badass.

Great read, anyone who has the chance to see the Avett Brothers with DMB should really take advantage of it. These guys are legit, I have seen them numerous times (albeit it in bars and dives) but they bring SERIOUS energy to everyone of their shows and I'm sure when you leave the DMB concerts you will definitely be impressed by both groups!

Default Dude.....Avett Brothers

Good Lord....These guys are amazing! I am currently and have been on an Avett Bros. Binge for the past couple of months. I am really thinking about dropping everything and following these guys around. They are glorious. What do yall think?

They opened a few DMB shows I went to this year and what I saw/heard made me want to check them out for sure. I just haven't had a chance to do so yet.
