If you follow this blog, or you like the Avett Brothers, then you know my buddy Joe Kwon. After that last series of live Avett shots he's probably been on this blog almost as much as Coyote. You probably also know of a certain other cello player by the name of Ben Sollee. Ben's got a unique style and rocking approach to playing that I've never seen before, and on top of that he's a totally cool fellow, down to earth and involved in a lot of the stuff that me and my people love: farming, sustainability, and riding bikes for really long distances with lots of gear. Ben and Joe got together the other day in Chapel Hill for Ben's performance at Memorial Hall with Carrie Rodriguez, and Joe even joined him on stage for a song during the show. The wife and I sat back and enjoyed while the performance took place, but I was able to get a few shots during rehearsal.
