SPRINGFIELD, Mo.-- A band whose style might be described as a rootsy amalgam of folk, country, bluegrass, rock and pop – even a jab of punk-style dynamics, is coming to Springfield in March. The Avett Brothers are coming the the O'Reilly Family Event Center at Drury University on Saturday, March 10th. The show begins at 8:00 PM. Tickets go on sale Friday, January 20th at 10:00 AM.

Tickets will be available at the O'Reilly Family Event Center box office, drurytickets.com or by phone at (417)873-6389. Ticket prices are $39.75 GA Floor / $29.75 Reserved, plus applicable fees.

A $5 student discount will be available on a limited number of tickets; available only in person at box office with valid student I.D.

The Avett Brothers’ big-label debut is their album titled “I and Love and You.”

Legendary producer and talent scout Rick Rubin, who signed the Avett Brothers – consisting of siblings Scott and Seth, plus bassist Bob Crawford – to his American Recordings label in 2008, says “As soon as I heard the depth in their singing and songwriting, I was in for the ride.”

Rubin has worked with some of the most talented mavericks in the business, including Johnny Cash, Tom Petty and The Dixie Chicks. Rubin says, “The Avetts’ songs have such a sincere emotional resonance. The purity of the messages stops you in your tracks. It’s unusual to hear such open-hearted personal sentiment from young artists today.”
