The Avett Brothers are set to perform at the IMU Main Lounge March 7 as part of "An Evening with the Avett Brothers" at 7 p.m.

SCOPE announced the event today, touting the band as "an exciting brand of folk rock" made up of brothers Scott and Seth Avett.

According to a SCOPE press release, the brothers had success with their 2009 album, I and Love and You, and they played a sold-out show at the Englert Theatre, 221 E. Washington St., that year. The Avett Brothers also appeared at the 53rd Grammy Awards this year, performing with Mumford and Sons and Bob Dylan.

Tickets will be available to the general public starting Dec. 23 at 10 a.m. at Ticketmaster locations. According to the press release, a limited number of student tickets will be sold at the IMU University Box Office starting Jan. 17.
