Count North Carolina Americana act The Avett Brothers among the many bands who honored Prince last night on the day of his tragic and untimely death. The Prince tribute came in the middle of the band’s first of three performances at the Chicago Theatre in Chicago.
Seth Avett, Scott Avett and Bob Crawford had completed the early classic “Pretty Girl From Annapolis,” when Seth leaned into the mic to belt out some of the lyrics to Prince’s “When Doves Cry.” He was accompanied by his brother during the brief but gorgeous interlude. Seth looked skyward after he was done and all three musicians as well as the audience came together to clap and show appreciation for The Purple One.
