Grammy-nominated folk-rock band The Avett Brothers will be making a stop at Ole Miss just before the Rebel football team’s SEC home opener.
The Avett Brothers will bring their signature sound to the Gertrude C. Ford Center on Thursday, Sept. 11, just two days before Lane Kiffin’s squad welcomes conference counterpart Arkansas to Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. The group boasts its morphing of bluegrass, country, punk, pop, folk, rock ‘n’ roll, indie rock, honky-tonk, and ragtime to deliver a unique sound.
The band has released 11 studio albums, the most recent a self-titled release in May 2024. Their most popular album, “I and Love and You,” released in 2009, has garnered 500,000 sales. The group has been nominated for four Grammys and has won a multitude of Americana Music Honors & Awards.
Folks who attend can expect to hear some of the band’s most popular hits, like “No Hard Feelings,” “Head Full of Doubt / Road Full of Promise,” and maybe even an upbeat tune in “Kick Drum Heart.”
“Their music brings people together across generations, and this performance promises to be one of the highlights of our season,” Ford Center director Julia Aubrey said in a press release.
Tickets for the Friends of the Ford Center, or those who have made monetary contributions to the event center, will go on sale in late July, with public sales beginning in August. Details about show time, pricing, and purchasing will be announced at a later date.
