Summer Sunday – The Avett Brothers

So I just saw these guys this past week (concert review to come soon). Prior to seeing them live, I had never heard even heard of them but I went with a friend and really really enjoyed their show. They opened the show with their song “At The Beach” appropriately enough seeing as we were in Myrtle Beach. The song was perfect for the atmosphere there and perfect for a Summer Sunday. After the show, I downloaded some of their music and was actually a little underwhelmed. The energy and raw emotion just weren’t there in the studio recordings. They were too clean and lacked their live dynamic flavor. Even with all that going against it, “At The Beach” is still a perfect song for one of the few remaining Summer Sunday posts.

It’s laid back! Cool but lacks a punch!
Yeah, they’re supposed to be releasing a live album at some point this year and I’m really interested to hear it!
