Summary
This is an expanded version of episode 72, which originally aired in September 2017.
In this episode of The Road to Now, we sit down for coffee and conversation with Bob's bandmates in The Avett Brothers for a discussion about art, technology, and challenges of creativity. We cover the historic relationship between genius and madness, the ways one's self is reflected in what we create, and the how they've adapted to the changes that have come their way since they began playing music. The Avett Brothers was the nexus that brought Bob and Ben together in creating The Road to Now, so we're really excited to bring it all together and share this conversation with our listeners.
This episode was edited by Ben Sawyer.
The Road to Now is part of the Osiris Podcast Network.

| 0:50.4 | and it's the whole band there. It was so hot hot but we had to cut the air conditioner off because |
| 0:55.5 | it's so loud so we're getting hot throughout this just starting to sweat but you still hear |
