Triad City Beat This Week: Dec. 22, 2015

When the Avett Brothers take the stage at Greensboro Coliseum on New Year’s Eve, they’ll be continuing a long-running tradition of celebrating the holiday back home in North Carolina with family and friends. Their relationship with Greensboro goes back to a legendary show at the Green Bean in December 2004, as Senior Editor Jordan Green chronicles in this week’s Triad City Beat cover story.
