The Avett Brothers performed for The Current’s Virtual Session series. Seth Avett and Scott Avett delivered songs from their newly released album, The Third Gleam, which arrived today via Loma Vista Recordings.
The Third Gleam — and the Gleam series in general — sees The Avett Brothers returning to their roots as a trio with a more stripped-down format. The record features Scott and Seth as well as longtime bassist Bob Crawford.
“The interesting thing with the ‘Gleam’ series is that it’s like songs that are made in somewhat of a quieter, more sacred space, if you will,” Scott said in a recent interview with The Current’s Jill Riley. “The record was made on its own time, before the pandemic and before the rolling out of these long-lasting social injustices that we’re witnessing.”
“Although,” Scott continued, “in hindsight, we were — I don’t know what the word is — it was somewhat surreal to realize how applicable the thing was.”
The Avetts kick off their Virtual Session with The Third Gleam singles “Back Into The Light” and “Victory.” Crawford then joins in on standup bass for “Prison Of Heaven.”
