Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter had a short-lived marriage that lasted for around two years. The duo fell in love working on the set of Dexter together, eventually getting married in 2008 on New Year’s Eve. The couple eloped appearing publically as a married couple in January 2009, during the Golden Globes Awards.

However, despite the couple splitting from each other, it seemed that the duo remained good friends after their divorce, joking around on set and having a great time either way. The duo was unlike some couples in Hollywood, that usually have such strained relationships that they cannot work on sets of the same films together, even putting it into their contracts to avoid each other. However, that was not the case with Hall and Carpenter.

Jennifer Carpenter said that just because they split, does not mean that...

Given their instrumentation and mountain-music harmonies, the Avett Brothers have always been naturals when it comes to country covers. When they last appeared on Austin City Limits in 2014, they zipped through a version of George Jones’ “The Race Is On.”

For their next spot on the show, airing Saturday, Jan. 18th, the Avetts devote most of their set to songs from last year’s The Avett Brothers. But the band also offers up another country homage, this one both cheeky and a little touching.

Some fans may not think that...

The Avett Brothers last released a full-length studio album in 2019, continuing their steady collaborative streak with Rick Rubin on Closer Than Together. In the five years since, the band and producer have been putting together the pieces for their next record, a self-titled album set for release on May 17. Their first offering from The Avett Brothers, a nine-track project, is the devotional “Love of a Girl.”

Siblings Scott and Seth Avett are one and the same on the rock single. “I got one older brother, he’s a fighter and...

In the cramped green room at Raleigh’s Lincoln Theatre, Charles Wesley Godwin pulled his bandmates in for a huddle.

A few feet away, on center stage, Bj Barham and his daughter, Pearl, were already talking up Godwin to the sold-out crowd. This was early February, on the third and final night of the annual Roadtrip to Raleigh, which Barham personally curates, hosts, and headlines with his band American Aquarium. This year, 49 Winchester, Muscadine Bloodline, and Godwin held down the middle spots of the three-act bill on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday,...

A new generation has discovered the joys of wintry, isolation-fueled ballads, but Greg Brown has been wallowing in them for four decades. With songs that straddle folk and country and resist outsized hooks in favor of gaunt, gently rippling chord changes, the Iowa-based troubadour, who’s released over two dozen records, has been a cult figure for a reason. He’s only approached a degree of mainstream exposure here and there (appearances on Prairie Home Companion and taking on the voice of Hades on Anaïs Mitchell’s original Hadestown album). But along the way,...

A fire has destroyed 60 guitars and up to 100 paintings at the North Carolina home of Jim Avett. He is the father of Scott and Seth Avett of the Avett Brothers band.

The Charlotte Observer reports that the fire occurred Friday in the city of Concord.

“The fire started from a golf cart,” Jim Avett posted on Facebook. “Half the house is totally beyond repair.”

Officials said that arriving firefighters saw “heavy fire from the garage” and entered the house to keep the flames from spreading. No one was hurt, although Jim Avett said a ...

In 2019, the Avett Brothers announced that their music would be featured in a new musical originally slated to debut in June 2020. A year-plus pandemic later, the folk-rock group is premiering the title track to Swept Away.

Written by John Logan and directed by Michael Mayer — both Tony Award winners — Swept Away‘s music draws from the North Carolina band’s catalog, and in particular the Avett Brothers’ 2004 LP Mignonette. The musical is set in 1888 and tells the tale of a shipwrecked crew, including two brothers, as they struggle to survive...

The Avett Brothers took to Jimmy Kimmel Live! — virtually — to perform new track “Victory” in a field of lush sunflowers. The song comes off of their new EP, The Third Gleam, out Friday on Loma Vista Recordings.

Siblings Scott and Seth Avett strummed the song while ambling in a field, cicadas providing some extra instrumentation: “I don’t write ’cause I don’t think/I don’t have a need to speak/I don’t see the bright side quite as clear,” sings Scott Avett over delicate, finger-picked guitars. “Accolades...

The Avett Brothers have released a new animated video for their song “We Americans.” Illustrated by the artist Jason Mitcham, the clip looks at the divided United States through a series of moving paintings and gives new life to the 2019 track, originally released on the album Closer Than Together.

The band have also announced the third edition of their Gleam recordings. The Third Gleam finds siblings Scott and Seth Avett and bass player Bob Crawford performing as a trio, a musical return to the group’s early days. Due August 28th on Loma Vista Recordings,...

Nicole Atkins was forced to cancel a tour supporting her new album, Italian Ice, but she is continuing to play live — from the safety of her Nashville home.

Atkins is the latest artist to take part in “In My Room,” our new Igtv series in which artists perform in intimate places in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. Atkins’ performance follows John Fogerty, Angelique Kidjo, and Brian Wilson.

“We want to keep everybody entertained, keep our spirits up,” Atkins says. “There’s a lot of things we can do at...

Singer-songwriter Nicole Atkins unveiled a new love song, “Captain,” from her upcoming album, Italian Ice, out April 17th via Single Lock Records.

The track is a rich, country-tinged ballad that boasts backing vocals from Spoon’s Britt Daniel and finds Atkins offering a struggling partner a helping hand: “And when you’re found a wreck,” she sings, “I’ll pull you on deck/I can be your captain for once.”

“Captain” also arrives with a video that finds Atkins delivering a delightfully hammy performance of the song as if she...

The Avett Brothers performed their new song “Tell the Truth” on Monday on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Scott Avett took lead on the mid-tempo electronic, piano ballad, with his brother Seth joining in unison during the song’s chorus.

“Tell the truth to yourself,” Scott sings, “and the rest will fall in place.”

“Tell the Truth” is a song from the band’s new album, Closer Than Together, which the Avetts say is their attempt at something approaching a political record. But “Tell the Truth” is a typically inward-looking original from the group,...

The Avett Brothers have released “Bang Bang,” a smoldering preview of their forthcoming album Closer Than Together. The piano ballad finds the group fired up and furious about American gun violence, tackling everything from the presence of guns in movies to the proliferation of assault-rifles used by men “pretending to be Rambo.”

“Conceal and carry your fear,” sings Seth Avett on the sparse track, “Don’t need no weapons here.”

Earlier this summer, the Avett Brothers released a statement accompanying the announcement of their socially conscious new album, Closer Than Together.

Seated behind the wheel of an antique Ford truck in a red rhinestone suit, Scott Avett stretches his arms across the cab and out the window, singing high and proud about being a “high steppin’, high bettin’, love givin’, love gettin’” kind of man.

It’s not long, though, before he realizes that Death — played by Seth Avett, his brother and co-founder of folk-rock band the Avett Brothers — is riding shotgun. As it turns out, that wide-open road of possibility is a narrower lane than it seemed, and fate is...

The Avett Brothers return with “Sun, Flood, or Drought,” an optimistic new track composed for the documentary film The Biggest Little Farm, which will be released in select theaters on May 10th. With the delicately melodic folk tune, the Americana mainstays follow the persevering theme of the film, about a couple that trades the hustle of city life to transform a barren 200-acre plot of land outside Los Angeles into a thriving farm.

Ushered in by pastoral banjo rolls, brothers Scott and Seth Avett call back the intimate, minimalist style of their The Gleam Ep,...

The late soul singer Charles Bradley was deep into chemotherapy when he entered a home recording studio in Queens, New York. In the fall of 2016, he’d been diagnosed with stomach cancer, forcing him to cancel a North American tour in support of his third album, Changes. Weak, but resilient, Bradley entered the recording booth and began to record the vocals for a new song, “Lonely As You Are,” on the spot.

The resulting track is a heart-rending ballad that deftly mixes Bradley’s powerhouse vocals with country-tinged soul groove.

The music of the Avett Brothers has inspired a new musical. Swept Away will premiere at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre in Berkeley, California, in June 2020.

Written by John Logan and directed by Michael Mayer — both Tony Award winners — Swept Away‘s music draws from the North Carolina band’s catalog, and in particular the Avett Brothers’ 2004 LP Mignonette. The musical is set in 1888 and tells the tale of a shipwrecked crew, including two brothers, as they struggle to survive after reaching land off the coast of New Bedford, Massachusetts.

Fans wedged into every nook and cranny of Spicewood ranch in Luck, Texas, on Thursday night for Willie Nelson’s Luck Reunion — many trying to get a good view of Lukas Nelson. They stood along the wooden sidewalks in front of the old storefronts, on the steps of the western saloon and jailhouse, and the fortunate few looked down from a balcony above the general store. There, on stage, was Lukas, in a tall top hat and a black coat with his arms outstretched, doing a half turn to present all before them.

Americana stalwarts the Avett Brothers already have a spring tour on the books, with shows running from March through June. This week, the band led by Scott and Seth Avett announced additional summer dates.

The warm-weather trek kicks off July 3 in Bonner Springs, Kansas, and includes two shows at the Fabulous Fox in St. Louis, as well as a pair at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley, California. The tour wraps up September 21st with an already sold-out gig in Welch, Minnesota, at Treasure Island Resort and Casino. Lake Street Dive...

This year brought its share of spirited (to put it mildly) discussion in country music, with multiple genre-crossing collaborations reaching the charts. Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line ruled for 50 weeks straight with “Meant to Be,” while Maren Morris lent her soulful pipes to Zedd and Grey’s ebullient dance track “The Middle,” now nominated for a Record of the Year Grammy. Additionally, 2018 saw winning collaborations in the country mainstream, like Dierks Bentley and Brothers Osborne’s “Burning Man,” as well as in Americana, with Robbie Fulks and Linda Gail Lewis’ “Wild!

The Avett Brothers haven’t released an album of new music in more than two years, but on Wednesday night they gave fans a taste of some fresh material on Late Night With Seth Meyers with a joyous sing-along called “Roses and Sacrifice.”

A reflection on love, commitment, and compromise, “Roses and Sacrifice” mixes the sweet with the thorny, although Seth Avett’s powerful tenor helps skew the mood in favor of the former. Brother Scott adds a wailing harmonica solo mid song, before joining in to harmonize on the last verse.

North Carolina natives the Avett Brothers are set to headline the Concert for Hurricane Florence Relief on November 13th at East Carolina University’s Minges Coliseum in Greenville. Also appearing will be Future Islands and Valient Thorr, bands with roots and connections to eastern North Carolina.

Tickets for the concert, priced at $75 for lower level seats and $65 for upper level, will go on sale next Friday, October 12th at ecutickets.net and by phone at 800-dial-ecu (800-342-5328). All proceeds from the concert will be donated back to the people...

After 48 years of making music, Asleep at the Wheel will be the first to admit there’s nothing new under the sun — and when it comes to country songs, you can probably thank Willie Nelson for those. So says the veteran Texas swing act on their latest track, “Willie Got There First,” featuring Seth and Scott Avett of the Avett Brothers.

Written by Seth Avett, “Willie Got There First” is a playful ode to the Red Headed Stranger and his omnipresent influence on the genre. “I had such a good idea for a song,...

A band as seasoned as Asleep at the Wheel hardly needs to put out new music these days. With a 48-year run that spans more than 20 albums, there’s plenty of material for Ray Benson and his crew to draw upon. But the Texas-based Western swing ensemble is back at it with a new LP, New Routes, and a youthful reimagining of an old-fashioned ode to getting high, “Jack I’m Mellow.”

Benson’s figure has towered over Asleep at the Wheel since its founding in West Virginia in 1970, not...

The Avett Brothers show off their vulnerable side in the new trailer for May it Last: A Portrait of the Avett Brothers, Judd Apatow and Michael Bonfiglio’s anticipated documentary about the North Carolina folk-rock band.

“If there was anyone I wanted to start a band with, it was Scott,” lead vocalist-guitarist Seth Avett says of his bandmate/brother. “There are all these bonds that become established when you’re children.”

The clip incorporates original footage of the Avetts in the studio, on the road, and at home visiting their father, as well as never-before-seen family photographs and home movies,...

In 2012, when Judd Apatow used the Avett Brothers' buoyant, love-drunk ballad "Live and Die" in his coming-of-middle-age comedy This Is 40, it was a choice that reflected a passion for the band's heartfelt folk pop. "Their music is about reaching out and trying to connect with other people, as well as the obstacles of love," says Apatow. "And I try to express some of the same things in the realm of comedy."

So when he heard that his friend Rick Rubin was producing the Avetts' ninth album, True Sadness, which came out last year,...

For many, Judd Apatow is purely thought of as a sort of comedy godfather. Between writing, directing, and producing, he’s responsible for some of the biggest comedies of the past decade. That’s both on television as well as in theaters. However, he offers more than that, as he’s occasionally supported smaller and more independent fare, helping to get it showcased. Today, he goes the documentary route for just the second time (after the Espn 30 for 30 offering Doc & Darryl) with May It Last: A Portrait Of The Avett Brothers, something very different than you’d expect from Apatow. It’s a one night only special event that celebrates not just a band, but a quieter style of musical documentary filmmaking. In addition, it proves even further that Apatow is a supreme talent in this business. This documentary is a look at North Carolina based folk rock band The Avett Brothers.

SXSW premiere charts career of North Carolina band.

Oscilloscope has picked up North American theatrical rights to co-directors Judd Apatow and Michael Bonfiglio’s May It Last: A Portrait Of The Avett Brothers.

The film premiered at SXSW where it received the 24 Beats Per Second Audience Award and took more than two years to shoot as Apatow and Bonfiglio followed North Carolina band The Avett Brothers.

O-Scope plans a theatrical event release nationwide later this year. The documentary will air on HBO in early 2018.

May It Last is an Apatow Production in association with RadicalMedia and marks Apatow and Bonfiglio’s second collaboration following last year’s Doc & Darryl that was part of the Espn Films: 30 for 30 series.

Apatow and Bonfiglio produced and Jon Kamen, Dave O’Connor, and Justin Wilkes served as executive producers.

“Making May It Last was a three-year labour of love for us, and we are thrilled that Oscilloscope is bringing it to audiences...

With most behind-the-scenes, making-of music docs, you can feel something ominous in the air. Either the artists on display are on the verge of a schism or someone’s personal life is threatening to undo the collective goals of the group. “May It Last,” a documentary from Judd Apatow and Michael Bonfiglio about the North Carolina-based folk-rock group The Avett Brothers, never stumbles on that central, driving conflict. Instead, the film presents the story of two brothers, Scott and Seth Avett, who have lived their separate lives without being fueled by the need to bring seismic change to the music industry or each other. “May It Last” still places The Avett Brothers in the context of a musical quest but finds an equally satisfying path in the ordinary elements of their lives.

Most of the in-process footage from “May It Last” follows the recording of the band’s 2016 album “True...

The Avett Brothers titled their latest album True Sadness - but singer-guitarist Seth Avett's life is quite the opposite these days. The Americana rocker, 35, married Limitless actress Jennifer Carpenter, 36, in an an intimate North Carolina ceremony over Memorial Day weekend - a step in their relationship that felt natural for the pair. "It feels like there's a weight lifted off my shoulders 'cause we've thought about it for so long, and it's nice to make it official," Seth, 35, tells People. The rocker and Carpenter said their "I Do's" about a year after welcoming their first son, Isaac, together last year.

The Avett Brothers stopped by The Tonight Show for a rootsy performance of new song "Satan Pulls the String." The band released their ninth album, True Sadness, last Friday.

Scott and Seth Avett passionately delivered the bluegrass track with their full band. The performance wrapped with a quick banjo, fiddle and guitar jam session at the end.

Jack White knows which direction his obsessions with American folk, blues and country steered him as an artist. "When you get back to Howlin' Wolf, Charley Patton, Robert Johnson – it basically begins there, and that's the best it ever was and the best it's ever going to be," White declared Thursday night onstage at the Sundance Film Festival, following a preview of the ambitious six-hour American Epic documentary series for PBS.

Along with Sundance founder Robert Redford, White and producer/musician T Bone Burnett are executive producers of American Epic,...

Jennifer Carpenter is a mom! The former Dexter actress recently welcomed her first child with her fiancé, Seth Avett, she confirmed at CBS's Television Critics Association event on Monday. Jennifer, who made the postbaby appearance to promote her show Limitless, which is based on the 2011 Bradley Cooper film of the same name, admitted on stage that her on-set wardrobe needed some adjusting. "We have an incredible costume designer," Jennifer said. "He worked miracles. I'm actually wearing something in the second episode that we tried to wear in the first around my pregnant belly. I don't know if he's a magician or what, but it's Marc Webb's camera angles, people crossing at the right time." The actress's rep confirmed to Us Weekly back in February that she was expecting and engaged. She and Seth, a member of the Avett Brothers band, began dating in June 2013.
