Now that pigskin season is officially over, you have no excuse to stay home on Sunday nights, especially when we have such stellar acts coming our way. North Carolinians the Avett Brothers have definitely hit their stride and lead their game in incorporating folk, Americana, rock and making their own genre. Catch their return at the Balboa Theatre. Meanwhile, the Casbah gets skankin' with Mustard Plug, and the Merrow hosts a great up-and-coming indie band from Wales called Catfish & the Bottlemen. Choices abound, so get off the couch and enjoy your Sunday Funday.
