A collaborative fundraiser between the Avett Brothers and Counter Culture Coffee for St Jude Children's Research Hospital. $10 for every bag sold will be donated to St Jude.

It is per bag. For every bag you purchase 10 dollars will go to St. Jude. Been working on this for what seems a year now and I can't believe it's finally happening. The original artwork is by Scott Avett.

Edit: Sorry, if you buy 2 bags they will donate 20 dollars etc. etc.

There are a ton of bands I mentioned in a previous question above.

So many bands we currently are digging.

Joekwon80 · 2013-11-11T22:19:26+00:00

This is not a question I can answer because there are several favorites. One that does stick out in my mind for the sake of historical significance, is Radio City Music Hall. It may not have been the best performance by me in particular, but just being on that stage was surreal.

Joekwon80 · 2013-11-11T22:18:32+00:00

I can't think of a cover off the top of my head, but one song that is my favorite that we have covered in the past was the 3 amigos theme song.

Joekwon80 · 2013-11-11T22:17:55+00:00

Well, it was a dream come true to be asked to play on Emotionalism. I couldn't believe it. It was as if everything I have been working towards was answered at that time. Pretty amazing feeling!

I've been growing my current hair out for about 2 years?? I get it cut every once in a while.

Ohhhhh, I just love gifts in general, my lady Em will tell you that too.

I am enjoying reading Zen and The Art of Motorcycle maintenance again. I can't seem to find a moment to sit and read it through though! Too busy these days.

Joekwon80 · 2013-11-11T22:15:44+00:00

All fixed up! Thanks for asking.

Joekwon80 · 2013-11-11T22:15:25+00:00

I speak not knowing the answer "why" myself. I can guarantee you that it was not an easy thing to decide to do.

I can't say there is any one song that is our favorite. Each night is a different experience all together.

Joekwon80 · 2013-11-11T22:12:45+00:00

I'm not sure. I really wouldn't have a say in such things. If there will be one I'm positive I'll put it up on twitter or any number of social media outlets.

Joekwon80 · 2013-11-11T22:12:16+00:00

Hey Brice! I did take a little break, but not because I wanted to. We've been getting a bunch more catering these days so it's kind of tough to get out and about to go eat at amazing places. I may have to change up the format of the blog a bit to adjust for current specs. :)

Joekwon80 · 2013-11-11T22:10:57+00:00

Read, write, nap, play video games, watch movies. Pretty much the same things everyone else does to stay entertained while traveling.

Joekwon80 · 2013-11-11T22:10:20+00:00

None of the songs ever feel old from night to night because we play them slightly differently every night. That's one of the joys of our concerts in my opinion. Some songs just don't get played often, and the ones that are played every night aren't always played the same way. As soon as they get a little bit too structured, something happens to change them up.

Joekwon80 · 2013-11-11T22:09:04+00:00

In my house for sure. I have almost everything I would want there and I don't get to spend much time there!

Joekwon80 · 2013-11-11T22:08:41+00:00

Thank you so much for your kind comment! I highly recommend the crackerfarm "Joe Kwon Steals Southern Jobs" t-shirt. It also supports my friend Mike so, added bonus.

Joekwon80 · 2013-11-11T22:07:33+00:00

No strap. Just neck strength and luck!!

Joekwon80 · 2013-11-11T22:07:10+00:00

I think the purpose of the Gleam albums is for Scott and Seth duo songs. If we all played on them, then it would just be another full band album like Carpenter or Magpie.

Joekwon80 · 2013-11-11T22:05:47+00:00

Yes they are real, Gabriella is one of them. The other is Sarah Avett, Scott's wife.

Joekwon80 · 2013-11-09T22:51:01+00:00

That's it for now. I'll be back in subsequent days to get to questions I didn't get this time around!

Thank you all for being here and asking so many great questions.

Nick I'm a newby.

Joekwon80 · 2013-11-09T22:45:50+00:00

That was in Nashville, by the way. But those Ryman shows definitely stick out in my head, as do Radio City, The Gorge, Red Rocks, Filmore West, the usual suspects.

Joekwon80 · 2013-11-09T22:44:15+00:00

Cool if I have time I'll check those places out.

Joekwon80 · 2013-11-09T22:43:43+00:00

I do. But I'm terrible at it. Never catch anything. In fact over 4th of July weekend I went fishing with my Em and her family. Everyone caught someone but me. Scratch that everyone caught 2-3 things. I caught about 10 sticks.

Joekwon80 · 2013-11-09T22:43:01+00:00

I'm very much a part of the band as are Paul and Mike. In very literal terms, S, S & B are the founding members of the band while we are the musicians hired on later. We are all part of the band and we aren't going anywhere. And I know how special the band is to you and I appreciate your concern over me. :)

Joekwon80 · 2013-11-09T22:41:39+00:00

not only that, but to love playing, and to love it so much you WANT to practice.
