The Avett Brothers recently stopped by SiriusXM‘s New York City studios for a live in-studio session, which included a performance of “High Steppin'”.
Earlier this month, the folk-rock band fronted by brothers Seth and Scott Avett released their new studio album, Closer Than Together, via Republic Records. The 13-track studio album is the band’s first since 2016’s True Sadness and features previously-released singles “High Steppin’” and “Bang Bang“. Scott handles the vocal lead on “High Steppin'”, with Seth offering up a spoken-word narration.
“Choices are limited as you get older,” Scott Avett explained to Rolling Stone Country regarding the song. “Maybe limited by what you’ve learned. Maybe limited because you know that you’ve committed to things, and with that comes limitations. Each year that goes by, if you’re really longing to observe and be aware, which I am, you just start observing how fleeting [life] is. That darkness that’s sort of right there all the time that’s waiting to take over … adds to the riskiness of it.”
