Huge thanks to all of the radio stations that played music from my new album ‘Catching Leaves’ these past few months, and most importantly, thanks to everyone who tuned in to listen! Show some love to your local radio stations (and let them know how much you’re enjoying the music!)
We first spoke 10 years ago when my debut album came out. I recently reunited with Patricia Trutescu of Music Historian to discuss my newest album Catching Leaves and what’s changed since our last interview (…a lot!)
You’re invited to sit in on our chat:
“Welcoming Avi back to Music Historian to talk about his journey in completing Catching Leaves seemed fitting. I first invited Avi Wisnia to an interview with me back in January 2012 and featured this interview in a full-length written story. Now, in January 2022, I bring Avi on to a video interview to share the life experiences and changes that have helped color the songs on his album and impact his life and musicianship.
Each musician’s experience with songwriting and composition differs. Performers may choose to allow their music to reflect experiences that have impacted their lives. One of the beauties in listening to an artist’s different albums is noticing the change and evolution of the music between the records. This reflects my experience with listening to Avi Wisnia’s new studio album Catching Leaves.”

Looking forward to 2022, because I know I’m going to see you in it.
I’m feeling very grateful. Thank you for helping me usher in this season of new music. I’m really thrilled to have an album of new songs out in the world. It took a little while to get here, and I want to thank you for your patience and encouragement, for sticking with me and supporting the journey of the project all this time. I have so much gratitude for every download, stream, post, share, radio play, playlist add, cd purchase, and absolutely every single message telling me how much you’re enjoying the music. I take it all in and it means the world. To know that my music is playing a role in your life, there is nothing greater. As autumn turns to winter, I hope you find some time to rest and reflect and enjoy this moment, wherever you find yourself – a reminder I’m giving to myself too.
Wishing everyone a warm and happy Thanksgiving.

With Catching Leaves, Avi Wisnia returns with his poignant and long-awaited sophomore release. Produced by acclaimed bassist/conductor Ken Pendergast, the collection is a tender and intimate ode to living in the moment, to surrendering to forces beyond our control and finding peace in growth, change, and acceptance. Wisnia writes with a gentle touch, reflecting on love and loss with a soulful maturity, mixing hints of jazz, roots, and the Great American Songbook together into an organic swell that’s at once beautiful and bittersweet. The result is “a riveting collection” (Vents Magazine) that “reminds us to live in the moment. Effortlessly cinematic and well-rounded, allowing us to explore Wisnia’s vast creative abilities.” (Buzz Music). Catching Leaves is a moving, intimate album shaped by the power of human connection and community, calling to mind everyone from Rufus Wainwright and Teddy Thompson to Ron Sexsmith and Gabriel Kahane as it navigates darkness and doubt, faith and family, pain and resilience.READ MORE…
