ATLANTA – Following their game against the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday, September 8, the Atlanta Braves will host a free Avett Brothers postgame concert at Truist Park.

Four-time GRAMMY Award nominees The Avett Brothers achieved mainstream success with their critically acclaimed 2009 major-label debut, I and Love and You. In 2012, The Carpenter reached #4 on the Billboard 200, followed by Magpie and the Dandelion in 2013, which debuted at #5.
The 2017 documentary May It Last: A Portrait of The Avett Brothers — co-directed by Judd Apatow and Michael Bonfiglio — chronicles the process of writing 2016’s True Sadness, which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top Albums chart, #1 on Rock Albums, #3 on the Billboard 200, and scored two GRAMMY nominations. The film was released theatrically and on HBO to widespread acclaim and is available on DVD, BluRay, and VOD.
In 2019, the band released their tenth studio album Closer Than Together featuring the single “High Steppin’” which reached #1 on the Americana Radio Singles chart. The Third Gleam followed during the COVID-19 pandemic, debuting at #1 on Billboard’s Americana/Folk Albums, Rock Albums, and Vinyl Albums charts, while the single “Victory” also hit #1 on the Americana Radio Singles chart.
2024 brought the release of The Avett Brothers, an album that is as much untitled as it is self-titled: a collection of songs that revealed themselves naturally over time. That same year, Swept Away — a musical inspired by & featuring the music of The Avett Brothers — debuted on Broadway to rave reviews.
The Avett Brothers have been inducted into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame and have received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Americana Music Association. They are currently on tour throughout the United States.
