MerleFest 2019 continued at Wilkes Community College in Wilkesboro, NC, on Saturday, and singer-songwriter Brandi Carile closed out the day’s offerings on the main stage with a powerful set that included a sit in from Avett Brothers leaders Scott and Seth Avett.

The trio came together around one microphone for an intimate rendition of the tune, which first appeared on the Avetts’ The Second Gleam EP in 2008, before Carlile covered it for the closing track of her 2015 LP, The Firewatcher’s Daughter. Last night, each singer took a verse, with all three coming together in harmony for a portion of the song.

Carlile also welcomed Tania Elizabeth, the violinist in The Avett Brothers’ touring band, for a round of John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads” as part of her MerleFest headlining set yesterday evening. Below, watch fan-shot video of the two collaborations and Carlile’s performance of “The Joke,” the lead single off her 2018 Grammy-winning album, By the Way, I Forgive You.
