Margo had released a song, `` Dumbfight '', on a compilation album before merging with Nemo. After releasing three albums with Nemo, the Avetts started experimenting with acoustic music with some friends at night. After a few street performances and get - togethers they performed as the Back Porch Project or as Nemo Downstairs, the brothers and Nemo guitarist John Twomey put together an EP entitled The Avett Bros. in 2000 while performing as the Avett Brothers ( with Scott, Seth and John ) and as Nemo. As Nemo broke up Scott and Seth continued to write acoustic music together. In early 2001 the stand - up bassist Bob Crawford, formerly of the Memphis Quick 50, joined the Avetts, and the band released their first full - length album, Country Was. The Avett Brothers set out on a self - booked tour to promote the new album and in late 2002 began preparations for a follow - up. With Ramseur Records After releasing a live album of original songs and covers entitled Live at the Double Door Inn the brothers settled down to compile a new full - length album. During this time the band began a partnership with Dolph Ramseur, a local label owner who had been impressed by the group 's live show and original material. After 70 hours in the studio, the band recorded the album A Carolina Jubilee, released by Ramseur Records in 2003, their first release with this label. Unlike their previous albums, A Carolina Jubilee demonstrated the band 's genre - crossing writing and performing. The band at Pickathon, Portland, Oregon, 2006 In 2004, the band released their third album, Mignonette, which featured polished harmonies, introspective lyrics and a sense of dedication that pushed the band to new heights. The album, running longer than 70 minutes, included vocals by the Avetts ' sister Bonnie Avett and their father, Jim Avett. Mignonette was named after an English yacht, which sank off the Cape of Good Hope resulting in the cannibalism case R v Dudley and Stephens. In 2005 the band released Live, Volume 2, recorded at the Neighborhood Theatre in Charlotte and King 's Baracade in Raleigh, North Carolina. The album spanned material from their career up to that point. In early 2006 the band released Four Thieves Gone : The Robbinsville Sessions to much acclaim. The album was recorded in a lake house in Robbinsville, North Carolina, over the course of 10 days and included collaborations with Paleface and Ian Thomas. The album was titled Four Thieves Gone after Scott Avett realized their song `` Denouncing November Blue '' sounded identical to the Charlie Daniels song `` Uneasy Rider '', whom they ultimately credited with the songwriting. During extensive touring in support of the album Scott and Seth Avett produced The Gleam, an EP of intimate, stripped - down recordings, which was released in September 2006. They were inspired to create the album as a duo after their experience writing and recording `` Famous Flower of Manhattan '' during the Four Thieves Gone sessions. The Avett Brothers at the Crystal Ballroom, Portland, Oregon, January 28, 2007 The band released Emotionalism on May 15, 2007. It debuted at the top of the Billboard Top Heatseekers Albums chart, number 134 on the Billboard 200 and number 13 on the Independent Artist Chart. In support of the album the band made their national television debut on May 12 on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, performing `` Paranoia in B - Flat Major. '' Emotionalism marked the first appearance of the cellist Joe Kwon, who has since become a full - time touring and recording member of the band. On November 1, 2007, the Americana Music Association presented the Avett Brothers with two awards, as Duo / Group of the Year and as New / Emerging Artist of the Year. In July 2008, the band released The Second Gleam, a stripped - down acoustic album like The Gleam. In the same month, the band announced they had chosen Rick Rubin to produce their next album and were now signed to his American Recordings label.

In the fall of 2010 the band released their third live album and first concert DVD, Live, Volume 3. The performance was recorded the previous year during the band 's homecoming concert at Bojangles ' Coliseum, in Charlotte, North Carolina. In early 2011, Avett Brothers bassist Bob Crawford learned that his daughter Hallie had a seizure due to a brain tumor. He took a hiatus from the band and was temporarily replaced by Langhorne Slim bassist Paul Defiglia. Crawford returned to play with the band on the 53rd Grammy Awards in 2011, performing `` Head Full of Doubt / Road Full of Promise '' and then joining Mumford and Sons and Bob Dylan for a performance of `` Maggie 's Farm. '' After successful treatment at St. Jude Children 's Research Hospital his daughter 's condition stabilized, and he returned to the band. The band kept Defiglia as a touring member, playing organ, double bass, and keyboard. In 2011, the band began the demo process for the followup to I and Love and You for a 2012 release, also produced by Rick Rubin ; 24 songs were recorded. On June 26, 2012, the Avett Brothers released a preview of the single `` Live and Die '' on NPR Music and announced that their sixth studio album, The Carpenter, would be released on September 11, 2012. It debuted at number 4 on the Billboard 200 and was nominated for the Grammy award for Best Americana Album at 55th annual Grammy Awards. Jacob Edwards left the band in December 2012.

Tania Elizabeth, who had recorded with the Avetts during the Magpie and the Dandelion sessions, began touring with the band on November 21, 2013.

On March 3, 2016, the band published an open letter announcing their ninth full - length studio album, True Sadness.

'' The album, released on June 24, 2016, debuted at number 3 on the Billboard Top 200 and topped the U.S. Folk and U.S. Top Rock charts. The album received a mix of positive and negative critical reviews. Entertainment Weekly praised the band 's experimentation and `` willingness to tear down boundaries '' while Pitchfork criticized the `` baffling layers of synthesizers in what feels like a ploy to push the Avetts into clear Top 40 territory. '' The album was nominated for two awards, as Best Americana Album and Best Americana Roots Performance ( the album 's lead single, `` Ai n't No Man '' ), at the 59th Annual Grammy Awards.
