The Avett Brothers

Four-time Grammy Award nominee The Avett Brothers made mainstream waves with their critically acclaimed 2009 major label debut “I and Love and You.” In 2012, “The Carpenter” hit No. 4 on the Billboard 200, followed by “Magpie and the Dandelion” in 2013, which debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200. 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 No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Albums, No. 1 on Rock Albums, No. 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 10th studio album, “Closer Than Together,” featuring the single “High Steppin’,” which reached No. 1 on the Americana Radio Singles Chart. “The Third Gleam” came out amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Americana/Folk Albums, No. 1 on Rock Albums, No. 1 on Vinyl Albums, and the single “Victory” hit No. 1 on the Americana Radio Singles Chart. 2024 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. That year also brought the Broadway debut of “Swept Away,” a musical inspired by and featuring the music of The Avett Brothers. The Avett Brothers have been inducted into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame and have earned a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Americana Music Association. They are currently on tour throughout the U.S.

The Milk Carton Kids

The Milk Carton Kids

Founded in 2011, The Milk Carton Kids – Joey Ryan and Kenneth Pattengale – swiftly emerged as a major force in the American folk tradition, blending ethereal harmonies and intricate musicianship with a uniquely powerful brand of contemporary songcraft. Their 2013 debut “The Ash & Clay” marked their national breakthrough, earning them their first Grammy Award nomination for Best Folk Album. Another Grammy nomination followed in 2015 for Best American Roots Performance with “The City of Our Lady” from their acclaimed third studio album, “Monterey.” Their 2018 album, “All The Things That I Did and All The Things That I Didn’t Do,” received a Grammy nomination for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical. The 2019 album, “The Only Ones,” garnered extensive praise, with NPR’s “World Café” noting that, “Even though Joey and Kenneth are not related, their voices together create a sibling-like harmony ... the duo has a strong sense of respect and reverence for the musical traditions that they’ve grown from.” The Milk Carton Kids were nominated for Best Folk Album for their 2023 record “I Only See The Moon” at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards, marking the group’s fourth Grammy nomination. “I Only See The Moon” is out now to critical acclaim on Far Cry Records in partnership with Thirty Tigers.
