"Think acoustic Americana with Brazilian bossa nova. Drink a caipirinha, and enjoy the sounds that originated in warmer climates."-The L Magazine
"Completely refreshing. Startingly clever. Lyrically brilliant."
-Alyssa Rushbaum, music critic for SPIN, VIBE, and Rebel Spirit Music
Singer/Songwriter Avi Wisnia presents an eclectic mix of refreshingly original songs and inventive covers, finding inspiration in classic Brazilian bossa nova, acoustic American folk, 1950’s west-coast jazz, and contemporary pop. Imagine a performer who seamlessly fuses the piano virtuosity of Ben Folds, the subtle stylings of Norah Jones, and the heartbreaking melodies of John Mayer. A wordsmith as well as a composer, Avi's clever lyrics give a knowing nod to his contemporaries, while his smooth vocals assure you that this is truly something new.
2010 has been a busy year for Avi Wisnia. After winning the OutMusic Award for Outstanding Jazz Song of the Year, Avi made a few TV and radio appearances and toured the country with his talented ensemble to promote his debut studio album. The album, "Something New," produced by Grammy-winner Glenn Barratt (Melody Gardot, Amos Lee), positions Avi as a formidable talent and a true artist on the rise.
