The Avett Brothers debuted a new song, “Roses and Sacrifice,” live on Late Night with Seth Meyers in October. The song was released in November, with Rolling Stone calling it a “joyous sing-along.” In the same month, the band headlined the Concert for Hurricane Florence Relief in Greenville, North Carolina, raising $325,000 to help those affected by Hurricane Florence.
