A New Sweetness in Our Life

Through my dear brother, Gunnar and I learned of The Avett Brothers.  Matt had made us a cd with some mixed music on it including these guys last Christmas. Over the course of the year I found myself playing only Avett Brothers songs and nothing else, because everything else paled in comparison to how this music made me feel. Yet still somehow in the haze of daily life we hadn't taken further investigation.    We found out they were playing in Northampton this summer and actually hired our first non-family babysitter in order to go to the show.  Well, it was indescribably amazing!!  Both of us were blindsided with the energy and passion of the live show and the effect of the music.  It was kind of like falling in love when you're not expecting it- fever!!  We came home and bought every bit of their music that we could find.  We have since been to two shows and can't wait for more.  Their music, their lyrics, their energy and their personalities are all incredibly uplifting, inspiring and addicting.  They add so much to our days.  How could we have not listened to Matt sooner?!
