Ticket Tuesdays — The Avett Brothers
***THIS CONTEST IS CLOSED***
We haven’t been this excited to share music news with you since 2009 when The Avett Brothers played a few songs for us at Bookmans Grant. The Rialto Theatre and Square Peg Concerts Present
The Avett Brothers with Special Guest: Chatham County Line at 8 p.m. on February 5, at Tucson Music Hall. The generous people at The Rialto provided us with a pair of passes to give away this Ticket Tuesday!
From The Rialto Theatre website: Life’s rich ephemerality. That’s what Magpie and the Dandelion is about. The things in life we can never repeat. People we will never see again. Relationships that run their course. Words that will never be spoken or sung in exactly the same way. That moment in a concert we experience only one time. Once. Then it’s over. Gone. Poof.
Perhaps the larger truth that Magpie achieves is showing that the Avett Brothers have grown far beyond their old pigeonhole of being quaint, foot-stomping, banjo-picking Southern boys who sparked a back-to-basics trend in rock. “I think, genre-wise, we continue to give little attention to what’s said about us — you know, the banjos on the radio thing. At this point, that’s more of a humorous afterthought. The idea of there being a movement — if there is such a thing — I think we’re on the other side of that.”
It was a fleeting moment. Gone forever. Turn the page.
To enter for a chance to win a pair of passes to see The Avett Brothers with Special Guest: Chatham County Line at Tucson Music Hall, tell us what song, Avett Brothers or otherwise, reminds you of a fleeting moment in your life.

That’s easy! The song would be Jim Croce’s “Time in a Bottle.” A sweet song about the desire to spend as much of our short time as possible with the ones we love, made all the more poignant by the fact that Croce died young and at the height of his popularity in a plane crash, leaving behind a wife and son. However, in spite of having waved my Baby Boomer flag with this response, we would still love to see the Avett Brothers in concert! Thanks for the opportunity to win the tickets!
The Greatest Sum.
