EMBRACE PRESENTS: THE AVETT BROTHERS with Special Guests Tuesday, June 1, 2010 – Phoenix Concert Theatre 410 Sherbourne Street, Toronto, Ontario http://www.myspace.com/theavettbrothers TICKETS ON SALE @ http://www.ticketweb.ca/snl/EventListings.action?pl=embrace&orgId=21261, ROTATE THIS, SOUNDSCAPES & PLAY DE RECORD “North Carolina trio Avett Brothers once sounded like Appalachian Beatles: chirpy harmonies over effervescent acoustic guitar, banjo and upright bass. They've gotten moodier in recent years, and for their major-label debut, producer Rick Rubin has turned the group into a lush chamber-folk outfit.†- ROLLING STONE **I and Love and You is ranked 9th in Paste Magazine’s top 50 albums of the decade** There is no harmony like brotherly harmony. Something indelible in the weave of voices and play of sensibilities is stamped into the fraternal DNA and also stems from a lifetime of shared experiences. You can hear it in classic brother acts across the musical spectrum, from the Louvin Brothers to the Everly Brothers and on down the decades through the Wilson brothers (Beach Boys), the Davies brothers (Kinks), the Allman Brothers and even the Brothers Gibb (a.k.a., the Bee Gees). You can clearly hear fraternal magic at work in the songs of Scott and Seth Avett, better known as the Avett Brothers, as well. That magic is abundantly evident on I and Love and You, the Avett Brothers’ big-label debut. Its 13 songs are delivered in a style that defies pigeonholing but might be described as a rootsy amalgam of folk, country, bluegrass, rock and pop – even a jab of punk-style dynamics here and there. Drawn by the naked honesty of their songs and the rousing intensity of their live shows, legendary producer and talent scout Rick Rubin signed the Avett Brothers – consisting of siblings Scott and Seth, plus bassist Bob Crawford - to his American Recordings label in 2008. “As soon as I heard the depth in their singing and songwriting, I was in for the ride,†says Rubin, who has worked with some of the most talented mavericks in the business, including Johnny Cash, Tom Petty and The Dixie Chicks. “The Avetts’ songs have such a sincere emotional resonance. The purity of the messages stops you in your tracks. It’s unusual to hear such open-hearted personal sentiment from young artists today.†For their own part, the Avett Brothers instantly felt at home in the studio with Rubin. “While growing up, his work influenced us in some weird way to do what we do, and it influenced our sound quite a bit, too. I mean, from the Beastie Boys to the Red Hot Chili Peppers to Johnny Cash, we explored all those records he did in depth. We felt comfortable working with someone we had faith in based on his credentials and track record. We wouldn’t be that way for anybody, we really wouldn’t.†By the time Rubin found them, the Avett Brothers had compiled their own impressive track record. They’d already issued five full length albums and two EPs, on their manager’s Ramseur Records label. They debuted in 2001 with a self-titled six-song EP and then issued a full-fledged album, Country Was, a year later. The heart of their catalog is the albums that followed: Mignonette (2004), Four Thieves Gone (2006) and Emotionalism (2007), which offered a generous 49 songs among them. The Avett Brothers’ latest release, an EP called The Gleam II, reached #82 on Billboard’s Top Albums chart in 2008 – quite a showing for an independent CD with minimal marketing and publicity. Live shows are the Avett Brothers’ calling card. In the spring of this year, they opened selected dates for the Dave Matthews Band. On their own, they’ve filled a 7,000-seat venue in Cary, North Carolina, and sold out two nights at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland, Oregon – one of their strongholds. In June 2009, they performed back-to-back sellouts at New York’s Fillmore East and began 2010 by selling out the Fox Theatre in Atlanta and the Granada Theatre in Dallas! Don’t miss your change to see them live in Toronto! TICKETS $25.50 Advance (plus service charge) • 19+ Event • Doors @ 7:30PM

They did something similar at the first year of Rothbury... forget what they called it. Either way there was an area of the Rothbury grounds that you only had access to if you had this special pass... the area had a free food all day, free drinks (mamosa's with breaky), and a private pool with waterslide. Me and two buddies managed to score the special wristbands from a girl we knew working the festy. We got free meals and shit all through the festival... including a giant bbq one night with free beer that took place directly behind the main stage. When we finished eating we walked out through backstage to see STS9 front row ASWELL... the wrist bands allowed us to use the staff entrance and avoid waiting in lines between camping and stage area, and not get searched

OMG... thinking about how crazy this would be in after effects...
