The Avett Brothers and Mike Patton Present AVTT/PTTN at Kings Theatre

AVTT/PTTN – Kings Theatre – June 12, 2026

AVTT/PTTN — the thrilling combo of the Avett Brothers and perennial rock-and-then-some trickster Mike Patton — are on record saying their unlikely collaboration works because of mutual admiration that they discovered, picked up and ran with. They hit it off, in other words, and that much is evident in their self-titled 2025 album, which at times sounds like a mutant version of the “classic” Avetts country-soul sound, and at times sounds like the musical polyglot Patton unleashed to help deliver twang, heavenly harmonies and more of an “ancient ox driver song” vibe than a “get spacey and skronky” vibe.

But what’s especially thrilling is how far their collaboration further transports in the live setting. At the gorgeous Kings Theater on Friday, the combined band — touring as an expanded unit that swells from as few as two to more than 10 players depending on serving the song — wasn’t merely content to safely and sturdily play the record, although that would have been fine, and perhaps been a sign they don’t want to push it too far, for fear of overdoing it or over-burdening it. But no, instead, they got after it, infusing that mutant sound into everything from Avetts staples — including “Pretty Girl from Chile,” “Satan Pulls the Strings” and “Laundry Room,” the latter’s reliably lively hoedown coda getting raucously blown out — to chestnuts from throughout Patton’s vast catalog spanning Faith No More (“Ashes to Ashes”!), Mr. Bungle (“Retrovertigo”!) and other associations, to cover songs both fitting because they made sense or because they were less likely but — don’t-ye-have-little-faith — they worked.

The country classic “King of the Road” got trussed up with Mr. Bungle’s “Vanity Fair.” The Dean Martin twang-crooner “My Rifle, My Pony and Me” got an earnest reading — their giddy grins plastered throughout showing how much they all just plain love the song. The ancient hymn “It Is Well with My Soul” was a beautiful benediction at the end of an extended encore segment that also included “Froggie Went a-Courtin’” (part-sung in Korean) and “Cigarettes, Whiskey and Wild, Wild Women.” Even the Avetts’ own “I and Love and You” — with its tender “Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in” chorus — got a touch of Patton scuffing without scraping its delicate heart.

They found the through line in all of it, allowing for a little mess to keep it interesting and for potential boundaries to stay flexible. The result was a sonic feast, spanning two hours and filling Kings’ every gilded nook and cranny, and could have easily been two hours more. Here’s hoping they’ve found enough fun to come back for another round of this. —Chad Berndtson | @cberndtson

Song Review: The Avett Brothers - “Country Kid”

The Avett Brothers look back on “Country Kid,” singing of fire ants, Winnie the Pooh, hiding smokes from adults, making out with trailer-park girls and the like.

The second single from the Avett Brothers (May 17) is a formulaic pop song outfitted with banjo and fiddle to provide titular bonafides as the Brothers extoll rural vices and virtues:

Then I grew up and hit the city/but the skyscrapers never get me/I fly above ’em all the time, straight through cloud nine/flowing fast like the Mississippi

“Country Kid” is generic and leans toward bro-country; lacking the elements that make the Avetts’ best work so irresistible. It is, however, much stronger than the preceding “Love of a Girl.”
