The milestones keep coming for Concord's Avett Brothers. Even though they won't have a major-label album out until next year, they've already cracked the top-half of the Billboard 200 album-sales chart. The Avetts' new mini-album "Second Gleam" (Ramseur Records) sold 7,552 copies in its opening week, good for a debut at No. 82 -- which is a 52-spot improvement over their chart peak for last year's "Emotionalism."
Once they get Columbia's machinery behind them, who knows how high they'll go?

Real Deal
Thu, 07/31/2008 - 08:58 — aburtchThe Avett Brothers are the real deal. They will go far. I skipped the Cary show at Kooky Booth this past weekend in favor of Floydfest. Very glad I did, excellently diverse lineup with lots of bluegrass, folk, funk, world and jam. The Avett's closed the festival Sunday afternoon with a monster performance.
