The Music Hall is thrilled to announce an exciting expansion of our live entertainment programming. This year, we’re bringing shows to the Whittemore Center at the University of New Hampshire’s Key Auto Group Complex in Durham, NH, marking the next phase in our longstanding partnership with UNH. This collaboration allows us to offer more marquee artists, comedy performances, family-friendly programming, and more—right here on the Seacoast.
By expanding into the Whittemore Center, a 5,000+ seat arena, The Music Hall can now bring bigger acts and diverse entertainment options, making it easier for you to experience top-tier performances without traveling far. This partnership strengthens our ties with UNH and creates an opportunity for us to engage with wider audiences and grow our nonprofit’s reach in exciting new ways.
The Avett Brothers
Thu., May 1 • The Whittemore Center • Durham, NH
Three-time Grammy Award nominees The Avett Brothers made mainstream waves with their 2009 major label debut, I And Love And You, which landed at #16 on the Billboard Top 200 and garnered critical acclaim.
In 2012, The Carpenter hit #4 on the Billboard Top 200, followed by Magpie And The Dandelion in 2013, which debuted at #5 on Billboard’s Top 200. In 2016, the band was inducted into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame. 2017’s documentary May It Last: A Portrait of The Avett Brothers (co-directed by Judd Apatow and Michael Bonfiglio) chronicles the process of writing 2016’s True Sadness (which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top Albums chart, #1 Rock Albums, #3 on the Billboard 200, and scored 2 Grammy noms). The film was released theatrically and on HBO to rave reviews & is now available on DVD/Blu-Ray/VOD.
In 2019, the band released their 10th studio album, Closer Than Together featuring single “High Steppin’” which reached #1 on the Americana Radio Singles Chart. Newest album The Third Gleam (August 2020) debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Americana/Folk Albums chart, #1 Rock Albums, and #1 Vinyl Albums. Single “Victory” hit #1 on the Americana Radio Singles Chart. Also in 2020, The Avett Brothers played two sold out drive-in shows at Charlotte Motor Speedway in the span of three months and ended the year on a high note with a livestream of their 17th annual New Year’s Eve concert. An estimated 150,000 fans watched the show, which featured a full-band performance and an impressive lineup of special guests.
