The Avett brothers formed in 2000, but rose to prominence in 2009 with their major label debut, "I and Love and You." Follow-up albums reached #4 and #5 on the Billboard 200.

They've remained active with the 2019 release of their tenth studio album, "Closer Than Together," and the COVID-era "The Third Gleam."

Their latest album, released in 2024, is self-titled.

The Drive-By Truckers blend alternative and hard southern rock, and since their inception in 1996, they've played more than 2,500 shows and released more than a dozen studio albums.

The two groups will play in Tuscaloosa at the Mercedes-Benz Amphitheater on October 2nd.
