The Deli Magazine CMJ Showcase Review
Review: I saw Avi Wisnia light up Rockwood Music Hall with his smooth baritone and tight quartet. The Philadelphia artist put so many quotes into his breezy bossa nova tunes, from Stevie Wonder to Cee Lo, it was almost impossible to keep count. But his gifted songwriting made the riffs all his own. (Mike Levine, […]

Freakin’ Weekend Video: Rabbi Gaga
When your father is a rabbi, you spend a lot of time in synagogue (mostly eating his office candy and spinning in his office chair). Combine that with spending the past few years day-jobbing as a songleader, and you could say I am quite familiar with Jew Tunes. So I will occassionally still get in front of […]
Avi in Your Living Room

It is also a great way to provide an evening of entertainment for […]
