The Avett Brothers join host Stephen Kallao

After last year’s adventurous album, Closer Than Together, The Avett Brothers return to their beginnings with an intimate collection of songs, called The Third Gleam. It is indeed the third in a series, but it’s been 12 years since the last stripped-down Gleam record. Today, we’ll hear brothers Scott and Seth Avett perform some of the new music live. Plus, the pair shares about what makes their songwriting partnership work, and their auto racing roots in North Carolina.
