In 2012, the Avett Brothers joined Randy Travis for a taping of Cmt Crossroads, a musical union that deftly matched the rootsy folk of the North Carolina band with the traditional country of fellow North Carolinian Travis. Seven years on, it stands as one of the best, most seamless Crossroads, a testament to the musicianship of the Avetts and the singing prowess of Travis, who no longer performs after suffering a stroke in 2013.

The Avett Brothers haven’t released an album of new music in more than two years, but on Wednesday night they gave fans a taste of some fresh material on Late Night With Seth Meyers with a joyous sing-along called “Roses and Sacrifice.”
A reflection on love, commitment, and compromise, “Roses and Sacrifice” mixes the sweet with the thorny, although Seth Avett’s powerful tenor helps skew the mood in favor of the former. Brother Scott adds a wailing harmonica solo mid song, before joining in to harmonize on the last verse.

The Avett Brothers show off their vulnerable side in the new trailer for May it Last: A Portrait of the Avett Brothers, Judd Apatow and Michael Bonfiglio’s anticipated documentary about the North Carolina folk-rock band.
“If there was anyone I wanted to start a band with, it was Scott,” lead vocalist-guitarist Seth Avett says of his bandmate/brother. “There are all these bonds that become established when you’re children.”
The clip incorporates original footage of the Avetts in the studio, on the road, and at home visiting their father, as well as never-before-seen family photographs and home movies,...

For many, Judd Apatow is purely thought of as a sort of comedy godfather. Between writing, directing, and producing, he’s responsible for some of the biggest comedies of the past decade. That’s both on television as well as in theaters. However, he offers more than that, as he’s occasionally supported smaller and more independent fare, helping to get it showcased. Today, he goes the documentary route for just the second time (after the Espn 30 for 30 offering Doc & Darryl) with May It Last: A Portrait Of The Avett Brothers, something very different than you’d expect from Apatow. It’s a one night only special event that celebrates not just a band, but a quieter style of musical documentary filmmaking. In addition, it proves even further that Apatow is a supreme talent in this business. This documentary is a look at North Carolina based folk rock band The Avett Brothers.
