Rochester, NY


Saturday morning ended up being a stressful morning, as we prepared to leave home for a month. We had the longest drive of the tour ahead of us -- 6 hours to Rochester, New York -- and cut it about as close as we could. But the drive and the packing rush were well worth it, as we found ourselves with old friends in upstate New York. Our friend Tom Combs coordinated his visit back home to Rochester with our tour stop, and having him in the audience helped us feel right at home.

We set up the Rochester show with Auld Lang Syne -- another band that has opened for The Avett Brothers -- and were fortunate enough to have two shows in a row with them. They’re a fantastic band that we highly recommend you check out.

Timing worked out the next day such that Suz was able to visit the newest member of her family -- a 13-day-old baby that she almost packed in her suitcase to take on our tour with us.
