An Evening With Jim Avett

The Gaston County Museum of Art &; History presents a musical evening with Jim Avett on Saturday, November 2 from 7:00 - 8:00 p.m. at its renovated train Depot located at 205 West Main Street in Dallas, NC.

Jim Avett is the father of the world-renowned Avett Brothers and is also the son of a Methodist minister and a classical pianist. He grew up in a home full of love and music, a home where he learned the importance of hard work and honest living. He and his wife instilled these same values in their children, tempered with a lot of fun and of course music. Jim's guitar was an ever present instrument, and there was always singing.

His shows are a combination of beloved country tunes, his original ballads, and the stories he tells to introduce them. One comes away from a Jim Avett performance with the feeling that this is an honest man sharing his life and his love of music. It's like spending the evening on the front porch singing and talking with a good friend.
