You know this rare story. North Carolina neo-folksters the Avett Brothers‘ music business career has arced from the Coffee Pot to Jefferson Center to Roanoke Performing Arts Theatre. Now the band is scheduled to play the city’s largest venue, the Roanoke Civic Center Coliseum.

The Avetts, touring behind their most recent album, “The Carpenter,” are set to play the shed on June 20. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. January 18. The lowest price is $27, and as usual, that’s all the civic center included in its news release. We’ll post all the prices asap. Get yours at the civic center box office, at hometownbanktix.com 877-482-8496.

The third Avett, non-sibling Bob Crawford, should be back on the road with the act. He has been in recent shows, after taking time away to deal with the serious medical issues that his young daughter, Hallie, has faced.

The Avetts have not played Southwest Virginia since a November 2011 show at Virginia Tech’s Burress Hall Auditorium. Read the review of that show.

UPDATE [12:41 p.m. 1.11.13]: Ticket prices $42, $37, $32 and $27.
