notes

"A promising artist to look out for" - Music Connection

"No. 1 Album of 2004; best unheard album of the year" -Rave! Magazine

"It's hard to pick the appropriate reaction - delight, disappointment or dismay - when a better album is recorded by a 19-year-old in his Manhattan Beach apartment than by all the artists on Atlantic Records in an entire year."
-Corey Levitan, The Daily Breeze 4-9-04

"I like the energy of the tunes... somehow both pro sounding and totally casual at the same
time... not easy to do... "
-Cary Brothers, singer/songwriter - The Garden State Soundtrack

At 19 years old, Avi Vinocur has carved out an impressive list of credentials for one so young: he opened for the Beatles at Shea Stadium in 1965, he talked John Lennon into the cover art for the Sgt. Pepper album, he was taught how to hit a ball by Bobby Thomson (who won the pennant for the New York Giants in 1951 with the single swing of a bat), he was awarded the MBE by Queen Elizabeth at the age of 6, and he set Dylan on the right track in 1963 when he said, "For Pete's sake, Robert--the times, they're a-changing, man!"

(Actually, he did meet Bobby Thomson once.)

Proficient on electric, acoustic, bass, piano and keyboard, Avi taught himself to play guitar when he was 12. Influenced primarily by the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Simon and Garfunkel, Ryan Adams and Bob Dylan, he's written over 100 songs that cover the entire spectrum of rock and roll: blues, folk, rhythm, and nuts-and-bolts classic rock.

Avi has performed solo and with his own band throughout Southern California at such well-known venues as the House of Blues, the Roxy, the Whisky, and Sacred Grounds. He was also asked to write a specialty number for comedian Bill Engvall to include in his latest album.

  • i missed out, cousin
    author: daniel depablos

    I haven't seen you since you were a child.I can't believe your artistic talent. Good luck, i'm sure you won't need it seeing as how your album is superb.

  • Forty years too late
    author: Katriona Fogden

    Absolutely wicked.

  • Get in on the ground floor - the music has soul, no small matter these days
    author: K. Fusaro

    Get in on the ground floor -, April 15, 2004 Avi Vinocur's first album is a throwback to the days when substance and melody mattered, a sort of concept album/tribute to the likes of the Beatles, Hendrix and Paul Simon. Not a bad list to pay homage to and Vincur seems to have the goods. The melodies are memorable, the licks slick with just the right amount of passionate slop and best of all; the music has soul, no small matter these days. This is an artist coming out of the egg so get in on the ground floor and you'll be able to say, Avi Vincur? Hell yeah, I've been listening to him since 40 years too late.

  • i like it
    author: d

    cnograts on the article i read it and got your record. i agree its really great

  • Sounds like a mix of a lot of things, but in a category all its own
    author: Jason R. Roberts

    The album is an entity, a large artistic piece... bigger than just songs. It's really a work of art. Everyone who reads this needs to own it an listen to it with headphones... it's a lot more complex than you may realize. Plus - your live show is amazing... you have the best voice i've heard in years... the album doesn't do that justice in my opinion... the people who read this need to see you live to really feel it.

  • i really like the cd a lot - i'd reccomend it to anyone - super relaxing
