Haven't seen the Avett bros. Though I think I just missed them in Boise. They were playing with someone else that interested me and I was thinking of trying to catch the show. They are featured this month in Acoustic Guitar mag.
I understand your concerns Eric, and that is why I said I was glad Wilco was successful enough to pull it off. My hope is that if more of these "indie" (for lack of a better term) artists make it, then maybe they can pull some other worthy acts along with them somehow.
