On Sunday, the Canopy Club in Urbana will be overrun by a group of Southern hipsters playing a familiar brand of rock ‘n’ roll.

The Avett Brothers are hauling their upright bass all the way to the University of Illinois from Concorde, N.C., on Sept. 7.

Between the bass, banjo, harmonica, drums and acoustic guitar, their sound can get a bit raucous at times.

It is these bluegrass-style jams that define what the Avett Brothers are all about.

Their style is a combination of folk, Southern and jam rock sounds that have been recently popular.

Sounding at times like the Kings of Leon gone bluegrass and like a somehow shier Iron and Wine at others, they bounce between genres with minimal awkwardness.

When they play their faster songs the entire room is taken over by the energy of the music. Feet are liable to begin tapping, and hands to start clapping as soon as the song begins.

It is when they slow down that they seem a bit uncomfortable.

It is hard to tell if this is because they are unaccustomed to showing their sensitive sides or if they have too much energy to do anything but bounce around the stage.

The vocal delivery on these more folk-based songs is clear and endearing, making any awkwardness forgivable, even a bit charming.

As with most young, indie rock musicians, they have the obligatory tight pants and outrageous facial hair, as well as the mandatory guy who always seems to be wife beater-clad and sweaty.

Though the Avett Brothers’ sound is nothing new to the current indie rock scene, they do it better than most.

They add interesting layers to their songs with the banjo, harmonica and unconventional bass, and they have a spiritual sound that can only come from the South.

Whether you are a fan of loud rock ‘n’ roll shows or you just really liked to the soundtrack to “O Brother Where Art Thou,” The Avett Brothers and opening act Justin Gordon will be rocking the Canopy Club Sunday night.
