Avett Brothers act serenades Shryock

By Gus Bode

Seth Avett plays with the Avett Brothers Tuesday at Shryock Auditorium. On Oct. 19, Southern Lights entertainment announced a venue change for the concert, moving the band from the SIU arena to the Shryock Auditorium. Though it was difficult moving seating charts from the arena to Shryock, Ashley Wright, the auditorium’s box office manager, said things worked out for the best. “It was a challenge, but overall I think it was a much better venue,” she said. The band’s first major label record, “I and Love and You,” peaked at #16 on the Billboard 200 bestselling albums. The band appeared at the 53rd Grammy Awards, playing alongside Mumford and Sons and Bob Dylan. – Isaac Smith | Daily Egyptian
