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, #1 on Rock Albums, #3 on the Billboard 200, and scored two Grammy nominations. The film was released theatrically and on HBO to rave reviews and is available on DVD/BluRay/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 came out amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Americana/Folk Albums, #1 Rock Albums, #1 Vinyl Albums, and the single “Victory” hit #1 on the Americana Radio Singles Chart. This year saw 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.
THE AVETT BROTHERS have been inducted into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame and recently earned a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Americana Music Association. They are currently on tour throughout the U.S. and are looking forward to the Broadway debut this fall of Swept Away, a musical inspired by & featuring the music of The Avett Brothers.
