It’s no secret The Avett Brothers are touring fanatics. Just one look at the old “tag archive” will tell you that. So it should come as little surprise that the North Carolina based quarter will soon be hitting the road again for what appears to be another summer full of tour dates. Following a few performances at next month’s South by Southwest, Seth Avett, Scott Avett, and Co. will embark on an extensive North American tour, currently highlighted by dates in support of Widespread Panic and the Dave Matthews Band – here’s some trivia: The Avett Brothers are one of the 15 acts slotted to DMB this summer – along with appearances at the New Orleans Jazz Fest and Sasquatch! Music Festival.

As if this wasn’t enough, The Avett Brothers also recently managed to find time to take part in Hangin’ Out on E Street series, where they recorded a rendition of “Glory Days”.

Let’s hope the band busts out this number over the summer. If anything, it will hope make those Dave Matthews Band shows a bit more tolerable…Opps, did I say that?
