Videos Seth Avett offers Blind Melon cover for Kickstarter

Posted By on Fri, May 1, 2015 at 1:18 PM

Seth Avett, singer/guitarist for the Avett Brothers, has covered Blind Melon's "St. Andrew's Fall" in conjunction with a Kickstarter campaign. Photographer and filmmaker Danny Clinch is working to put together a documentary about Shannon Hoon, the late Blind Melon singer, using footage Hoon recorded over his time with the band.

Formed in 1990, Blind Melon hit it big with their song "No Rain" from the rock band's self-titled debut album. Hoon died of a cocaine overdose in 1995. The band reunited with a new singer in 2006, performed at Tremont Music Hall in 2007, and has played occasional one-off shows in recent years.

So far, the campaign has raised more than $65,000 toward the $100,000 goal with just four days left. Avett's song was released today as a sort of teaser to lure more attention to the Kickstarter project.
