« A Broken Time Machine: The Avett Brothers, NYE 2011. »

If you live under a rock, then perhaps you haven't heard of the Avett Brothers. I'm guessing if you are here, then you have. And if you've been here before, you know I've had a few occasions to photograph them in concert, in fact they were the first few images of my 365 blog, shot at the 2009 New Year's Eve show at the  Asheville Civic Center in NC. One year to the day later, I found myself in the same venue finishing my 365, while working on another project, which I'm happy to finally present to you now...

I'll let the video mostly speak for itself, but as you can see, I wanted to show some of the goings-on around the concerts this past New Year's in Asheville: the crowds, the lines at the door, the venue, the fans. Contrast that kinetic energy with a slow study of the band's equally kinetic performance, and you have a time warp that gives you an idea of what ringing in the New Year with the Scott, Seth, Bob, Joe, Jacob and the crew is like...

Mad love and respect to my co-camera operator, Krista Little, who has some great still images from those two nights on her blog.

Thanks for watching,

LLG

UPDATE: I figured since I was getting a lot of Avett fans coming to the site to check out the video, I'd post a few of the other Avett videos we've made, these from a show in Chapel Hill a few years back, enjoy!
