Scott and Seth Avett – of The Avett Brothers – will perform a free concert at 10 p.m. May 14 on the Atlanta Braves' Facebook page.

In addition to playing, the brothers’ 45-minute set will also provide fans an opportunity to donate to the MusiCares COVID Relief Fund, which is assisting music industry members who are out of work due to the pandemic.

The Avetts, who are from Concord, North Carolina and longtime Braves followers, have previously played two postgame concerts for the team.

The band, like most of its peers, has been forced to reschedule, postpone or cancel most of its spring and summer concert dates.
