To our most loyal and dedicated fans,
Due to the pending birth of my first child, we have regretfully chosen to cancel our upcoming shows in Tampa, FL at the Cuban Club on the 23rd and Live Oak, FL at Magnoliafest on the 24th. We have never had to cancel a show for personal reasons, but I just have to be around for my wife and child on the most important day of our lives. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused any of you. We have rescheduled the Tampa, FL performance for May 2, 2009. I also apologize for the late notice, but we waited until the last possible minute to make this decision. I’d like to extend a very sincere thanks to all of you for your well-wishes and kind words during this very important time in my family’s life. We are happy and healthy at home, just awaiting our daughter’s arrival. We will see you all very soon.


In truth,
Scott Avett and The Avett Brothers

Dear Bands,

Stop knocking people up 9 months before your supposed to be on tour

- Your Fans

I excuse these guys because they seem to be on tour non-stop.

And I guarantee a good song will come out of that experience.

Ha, of course I was already emailed about this before I saw your post. I'm actually kinda glad because maybe I'll have a job again in May and be able to afford it.

I feel bad for Matt Butcher though, spoke to him when he played with Will Quinlan a couple weeks back, and he was going to have his CD release at the Tampa show.
