May – PA
July – CA
August – NY, NJ, PA, DE, DC, MD, VA, NC
also booking Spring 2015

OutMusic Awards 2011
OutMusic Awards
The OutMusic Awards recognizes achievements by LGBT recording artists and this year, I have been nominated for 3 awards! The nominations, announced in LA last December, are for Outstanding Pop Song (New Year), Outstanding Jazz Song(The Back of Your Hand), and Outstanding Video of the Year (Rabbit Hole). The awards were postponed from last year due to an unfortunate situation with one of the major sponsors – but they are BACK ON for May, to be held at Irving Plaza in NYC on May 23. If you are interested in the event, you can purchase tickets at www.outmusicawards.com.

Speaking of things that are BACK ON, The No Brainer Benefit Concert is coming back this year to Philadelphia.

Avi Wisnia & Jennings On Tour
It may still be Passover, but I just celebrated Easter on a peach farm in Georgia. I pretended I was Moses parting the Sea of Corn, from a tractor. Enjoy that visual. (Visit the AW Facebook Page for the actual visual.) I’m on tour right now with the lovely and talented JENNINGS. We’ve already made stops in Towson, MD and Raleigh, NC. This is my first time in the deep South, and Jennings promises that amazing fried chicken is right around the corner. (I’m seriously holding her to that.) In the meantime, we are getting ready for some killer shows on the rest of this tour. See the full schedule below – and definitely help spread the word and come join us in the following cities:
Gainesville, GA
Nashville, TN
Washington, DC
Baltimore, MD
