The Avett Brothers rock Bruce's "Glory Days"

The Avett Brothers, who are busy working on their major label debut with Rick Rubin, recently took some time to film a performance of Bruce Springsteen's "Glory Days." The video is part of a series on Springsteen's website called "Hangnin' On E Street" that features a variety of artists influenced by his music.

The Avetts video (which you can see below) is the latest in the series that also includes Bouncing Souls, Wyclef Jean, Juliana Hatfield, Mat Kearney, Against Me!, Ted Leo and The Gaslight Anthem. Upcoming videos will include Tegan and Sara, Pete Yorn, Josh Ritter, Nicole Atkins, Valencia and Birdmonster. Watch all of the videos here.

As we've mentioned before, The Avetts will hit the road with the Dave Matthews Band a bit this summer and will also play a bunch of headline shows around the country. Check out the dates below the video.
