SHOW DATE: Tuesday, September 10, 2019 • 7:30pm
The Avett Brothers joined together to present songs about experiences that they as humans have known to humans who know what they mean. Subject matters are tragic, joyful and inexhaustible. Their fan base is large and loyal, often following the band from town to town, taking in multiple shows of the same tour. 

The Avett Brothers first made mainstream waves in 2009 with their major label debut “I and Love and You,” which landed at No. 16 on the Billboard Top 200 and earned the band critical acclaim from Rolling Stone, Paste, The New York Times and Time magazine. One of the top folk-rock bands in the country, the band made its third appearance on a WVU stage September 10, 2019. Their first concert was April 20, 2012 at the WVU Creative Arts Center—a show that sold out in less than 24 hours.

Average ticket price was $27.50.

The Avett Brothers are known for the limited edition posters for each of their shows. These beloved collector's items are a huge hit with fans. This is the poster sold at the 2019 concert at the Coliseum. It was designed by Logan Schmitt, who grew up in the woods in Wheeling, West Virginia. The posters sold out within minutes of the doors opening.
