PICTURE THIS: The Avett Brothers + Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue @ Mann Center, Philadelphia 9/14/13

September 19. 2013 | By Stephanie Adams

To start off the night of highly energetic music Saturday night, Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue took the stage in Philly. Their jazz sound complete with trombone and saxophone really impressed the already packed venue. The Avett Brothers arrived shortly after sunset and with their new album Magpie And The Dandelion, due out October 15th, they played a varied set list of new tunes, fan favorites, and deep tracks. Standout moments included their beautiful rendition of gospel song, “Just A Closer Walk With Thee,” and the performance of “Kick Drum Heart,” complete with an amazing and unexpected Seth Avett guitar solo.
