Avi Live in Seattle: Outside! I did a tour up in the Pacific Northwest. I got kicked out of Canada and couldn't play my show in Vancouver. I played this instead.

A Bio for Avi...
Avi's folk music draws comparisons to a young Bob Dylan or Paul Simon: maintaining elegant melodies and poetic lyrics with messages ranging from love to politics. His live performances have earned him regular positions in coffeehouses in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury, South of Market and Mission districts and a strong following of young and old. His poetry has been published and received acclaim and approval from poets, authors and survivors of Hurricane Katrina at benefit poetry reading in New Orleans. He began as a session blues electric guitarist in the Los Angeles area until he fell in love with folk music in 2004.
Avi has toured the United States five times with Sebastian Clark (LA), and Jason Reischel (NY) and has performed in the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Canada and South Korea. Doing so has earned a mailing list of 500+ devout fans.
His debut record "Forty Years Too Late" was released on February 9th, 2004 and his sophomore EP "New York" was released on May 30th, 2006. His third release is in the works and will be released when gas prices go down.
“We stare at the ending before it's begun
and it only makes the middle lose all its fun
because we both did the race
and though neither of us won
we ran."
-Avi Vinocur

Hi! Sorry for the late response but it's been a long time since I've been on this site...I think Belgium was pretty great some months ago ;) and now it is even greater because the exams are over! :) But despite its greatness I'm leaving pretty soon for Italy and Sweden. How's America? :)
Thanks man. If I get a chance to go on tour, I'll take you up on that offer. And if you come anywhere near ohio, I can help you get a show if you want.
Avi I wish we were BFFs... just so you know. Haha! Oh and I'm most definately enjoying the new material, your music always makes me smile. Well I hope all is lovely for you! Take care my dear.
