North Carolina native, multi-instrumentalist, and folk- and bluegrass-influenced pop/rock singer/songwriter Seth Avett has found most of his musical success alongside his older brother, Scott. Avett has released numerous solo outings under his own name and as Darling. In 2000, the brothers recorded and released a self-titled acoustic side project as the Avett Brothers. They issued a great deal of material before hitting it big with 2007's Emotionalism and 2009's Grammy-nominated I and Love and You. In 2015, Avett partnered Jessica Lea Mayfield to release a collection of solemn Elliott Smith covers, and in 2022 he paid tribute to one of his musical heroes on Seth Avett Sings Greg Brown.
