The Chattahoochee Folk Hour with Jim Avett

Jim Avett of Concord North Carolina raised his family on traditional values of faith, love, hard work and music. His sons Scott and Seth, known simply as 'The Avett Brothers' are now two of the most popular singers and songwriters in folk music. I was honored to host Jim on the Folk Hour. My son Henry is a huge fan of the Avett Brothers and so he sat in with me for the session. A singer songwriter himself, Jim played several of his tunes on the show, and shared personal stories about his family and memorable moments on his sons' rise to success in the music industry. As I visited with Jim in the studio, it struck me that Jim's love of music carried forth with his sons, and in turn the music of his sons made its way into my home through my son Henry, and into thousands of other homes across the country. My favorite part of the show was toward the end of our session, when Jim invited me to jam with him on guitar and harmonica. Thanks, Jim, for quite a memorable show.
