Today, Seth Avett announces Seth Avett Sings Greg Brown, a 10-track tribute to songwriting hero and one of the most revered contemporary folk artists of the American Midwest, Greg Brown. Coming November 4th, Avett transcribed, interpreted and dove deep into the repertoire of the songwriting legend who’s been one of his musical guiding lights since the age of fifteen.
Recorded in hotels across the country while on tour with The Avett Brothers, the record penetratingly captures the spirit, sincerity and beloved characters that populate Brown’s best songs. Pulling from Avett’s favorite songs across Brown’s vast repertoire, the album touches on the simple human experiences that Brown is so known for bringing to life – trustworthiness, sincerity, intimacy, and surprising familiarity – highlighted by Avett’s rich voice and his precise, shimmering acoustics.
