The banjo-loving Avett Brothers surprised fans this morning by announcing additional tour dates to their end-of–the-year schedule. Spokane was one of the cities selected by the folk group. They will play the INB Performing Arts Center Oct. 19 sandwiched between gigs in Seattle and Montana.

For those who missed the lively set at Sandpoint a few weekends ago, it's another opportunity to see the act.

According to the band’s website, pre-sale for the show in Spokane will be Tuesday, Sept. 3 at noon local market time. Public on-sale begins Sept. 6. Tickets will start at $34.50. Nicholas David will be the opening performer.

The band’s new album, Magpie and the Dandelion, hits stores just days before the Spokane show on Oct. 15. Their new single (see above), “Another is Waiting,” is already out.
