Agave to welcome Nappy Roots

Two-time Grammy Award nominees Nappy Roots will perform at Agave in Avon on Saturday with doors opening at 9:30 p.m.

Nappy Roots entered the music scene in 1998 and it has have remained real, humble, talented guys with inherent, undeniable southern swagger.

After the international success of its album “Watermelon, Chicken & Grits,” selling over 3 million albums, the group was flying high while still acutely aware of how far it could be to the bottom should they fall. It is that practical and genuine presence of mind that helped them sustain touring as a group these last 10 years. Building a vastly loyal fan-base nationwide, fans and friends can be used interchangeably when referring to their army of followers.

In an economically recessed climate, Nappy Roots has joined the rest of the nation in trying to understand and work through financial and emotional struggles.

Tickets are $15 in advance and $18 day-of. They can be purchased at http://www.agaveavon.com.
