Story behind the Avett Stuff
Julianne models for Scott Avett of The Avett Brothers. He is a graduate of the School of Art and Design at ECU. Scott lives in Concord, North Carolina when he’s not on tour. He chose to use a painting he painted of Julianne for the cover of their Columbia/Sony BMG release produced by “super producer” Rick Rubin. The album is titled “I and Love and You” and they performed the title track on the David Letterman Show on September 28, 2009. They also performed on October 6, 2009 on the Craig Ferguson Show a song called “Laundry Room” from the new album.
Julianne also did the calligraphy for the cover of the album, song titles, as well as the bio. She was contracted by Sony/BMG, working with Dave Bett; Art Director from Sony. The Avett Brothers have been Julianne’s favorite band for a decade, so this has been a huge honor. Her favorite song to see live is still “I Killed Sally’s Lover” and “Paranoia in Bb” is another favorite. The images below are of Julianne, the black and white image is the cover of the 7” vinyl release, and the dark painting is the cover for the new album. You may realize that she looks older in this, there was a board topic on their website that speculates on that idea.
