Learn Moreabout PBS online sponsorshipBack in 2016, we shared the story of Joe Kwon, the rock star cellist of the Avert Brothers, and followed his journey from growing up in Archdale, North Carolina, to performing on stages around the world.
♪ But Joe's talents go far beyond music.
He's also passionate about food and the way it brings people together.
One of my favorite memories was watching Joe cook his favorite childhood dishes with his mom and aunt.
A beautiful dinner party filled with friends, family, and flavor.
So this is a Korean dish called japchae.
It's sweet potato vermicelli noodles with blanched spinach and stir-fried beef, wood ear mushrooms, carrots, and onion.
You love getting people together to celebrate food and friendship.
Why is that important to you?
I don't know why it wouldn't be important to everyone, really.
Your family doesn't have to be blood.
Just as much as AC and Kate are our family, as the Avert Brothers are my family, they're just as close as family as my mom and my aunt.
These days, Joe's still lighting up the stage with the Averts, and he shares glimpses of life on the road, moments at home with his wife, Emily, and their new baby on social media.
Hello, my home.
Congratulations on 10 years.
I'm actually sitting here in Chapel Hill, North Carolina right now.
I'm visiting my sister in between some shows.
I'm here on tour with the Avert Brothers, and I just wanted to give you a glimpse into some of our backstage shenanigans.
One thing's for sure, no matter where the music takes him, Joe always carries a little piece of North Carolina with him.
