On November 1, 2007 The Avett Brothers won the Americana Music Association
Duo/Group of the Year and New/Emerging Artist of the Year awards. In the spring of 2008 the band announced that their newest EP, The Second Gleam
, would be released on July 22.

."
In early 2011 the band returned to the studio to begin working on the followup to I and Love and You, with a release expected in early 2012, produced again by Rick Rubin. "We've recorded 24 songs, and there's plenty more where that came from," said singer Scott Avett (as quoted in June 2011 Rolling Stone magazine). A song expected to appear on the album is "The Once and Future Carpenter," which the band debuted at their New Year's Eve set of shows in Asheville, NC in late 2010. "We've been very fortunate to meet a friend like Rick" says Avett. "It's been a real good, natural process."

History
Although playing music together since childhood, the partnership between brothers Scott and Seth Avett truly began in the late 1990s with the merger of Seth's high school rock band Margo and Scott's college group Nemo. After releasing three albums under the Nemo moniker, the Avetts started experimenting with acoustic music with some friends at night. After a few street performances and get-togethers they dubbed “The Back Porch Project” or “Nemo Downstairs,” the brothers and Nemo guitarist John Twomey put together The Avett Bros.The Avett Bros.
