The Avett Brothers and Mike Patton Bring Something Special to the Rady Shell
The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park is a great venue on a normal night. Add The Avett Brothers to the bill – and then throw Mike Patton into the mix – and you’ve got something worth clearing your calendar for.
A Pairing No One Saw Coming (But Everyone Should)
The Avett Brothers have been one of the most consistently compelling acts in American roots music for over two decades. Their blend of folk, rock, and bluegrass-inflected songwriting has earned them three Grammy nominations, a chart-topping documentary, and a devoted following that keeps growing.
Mike Patton, best known as the frontman of Faith No More and Mr. Bungle, is one of the most versatile and unpredictable voices in rock. Together under the name AVTT/PTTN, this is more than two acts sharing a stage – expect something collaborative and genuinely unlike anything else on the calendar.
What to Know Before You Go
This is an all-ages show, so bring the whole crew. Doors open ahead of showtime, so arriving early gives you time to settle in and take in the waterfront setting before things kick off.
One thing worth noting: this event is presented by Goldenvoice and is a rental of The Rady Shell. The San Diego Symphony is not part of the performance.
A Band That Keeps Showing Up
The Avett Brothers’ catalog spans more than a decade of acclaimed records, including True Sadness (which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top Albums) and The Third Gleam, which topped the Americana/Folk, Rock, and Vinyl album charts simultaneously.
Their most recent San Diego appearance left a strong impression, which makes this return – with an entirely new creative collaboration in tow – one of the more exciting shows of the summer.
See you there!
Whether you’re a longtime Avett Brothers fan or just curious what happens when two singular acts share a stage, this one is worth the trip to Jacobs Park.
