Jim Avett schedules East Tennessee show at Preservation Pub
Back in November 2008, when The Avett Brothers were coming through East Tennessee for a two-night stand at The Bijou Theatre, we interviewed Seth and had a great conversation about how grounded in family love that the brothers are. We talked about an album by their father, Jim Avett, that the brothers played on — “Jim Avett and Family” — and later that month, their dad joined them on the Bijou stage for a couple of songs.
Now, Jim has a new CD out — “Tribes” — and a couple of Knoxville dates scheduled; March 23 at the WDVX-FM “Blue Plate Special,” which takes place at 301 S. Gay St. in downtown Knoxville, and on Wednesday, April 28 at Preservation Pub, 28 Market Square in downtown Knoxville. The latter show will feature the all-girl trio Amelia’s Mechanics, whose debut album “North-South” was produced by Mr. Jim and released last month.
