The Avett Brothers kicked off their three-night at Red Rocks on July 10 with The Mountain Goats warming up the sandstone for what turned into a full-throated, tear-and-cheer kind of night. Scott and Seth Avett traded verses and harmonies with the loose, brotherly chemistry that’s kept fans coming back for two decades, while Joe Kwon’s cello and Bob Crawford’s upright bass filled in every corner of the amphitheater. The crowd sang along to nearly every chorus, and it was another reminder of why the Avetts keep landing back at Red Rocks. See photos from the show below.
