I'm not crazy about the Avett Brothers, but there's something about them that makes it feel like the right pick for GC's bar.
I was lucky to see them before they broke out in several small clubs. I think that helped make me crazy about them --- as intense as any punk band I've seen and as beautiful as any songs I've heard live.
Our wedding invite CD (yes our wedding invite was a mix CD -- fun idea but more expensive than you'd think) had 2 of their songs on it.
I've had a few friends do the wedding invite CD thing and it's a pretty cool idea. Did you and the wifey pick out the songs yourselves or did the wedding party pick songs that made them think of the two of you...I've seen both done.
We picked out the songs --- which went fairly smoothly. For the most part, they were songs of bands we'd seen together over the last few years (Avett Brothers, Cheap Girls, Bridge & Tunnel, Chuck Ragan), or CDs we'd got together (She & Him, Rocky Votolato) and one track that I just thought would be awesome as a personal ode to me: Weird Al Yankovic's "White & Nerdy".
And with us both being graphic designers, we designed a case and had them screen-printed:

Very cool. Is that you doing the screen printing?
