Scott Avett knew the harrowing survival story from The Custom of the Sea would resonate, leading to the Avett Brothers’ impactful second album, Mignonette. Their personal journey from extensive touring to fame reflects a deep connection with emotional storytelling through music.
Matthew Masten proposed the idea of adapting Mignonette into a stage musical, yet the transition took ten years, highlighting both the persistence required to transform a concept into reality and the creative evolution of the Avett Brothers' original work.
Swept Away, based on Mignonette, emerges on Broadway, showcasing the enduring power of the Avett Brothers' storytelling and their ability to reach larger audiences through diverse artistic expressions.
The blend of folk-rock-country ignited by the Avett Brothers not only carved their niche in the Americana genre but also proves how stories, even historical ones, can evolve into new artistic mediums.
