Avi Kaplan | What a Talented Musician | When I'm a Fool Reaction

[@AceofBadeReacts]

It always shocks me as to how much Avi can do outside of acapella singing.

[@cocohol3513]

Love anything from Avi! Move Our Souls was released a couple of weeks ago. The song is great, and the video is epic! Cheers!

[@cathyboyce6457]

I love the sheer beauty of "Avi Kaplan, All Is Well, Seven Layers Session # 126" I honestly haven't seen anything from Avi that I haven't liked ~ Thanks for the reaction!

[@rachellephipps1361]

I love everything from Avi. Some of my favorites are First place I go, Song for the faithful, Full moon, Trying to get it right to name a few. You really can't go wrong with anything from Avi.

[@stephanie3230]

It's so hard to suggest his songs because I end up listing all of them. LOL Some of my favorites are Aberdeen, I'll Get By, It Knows Me, Chains, Get Down, Lean On Me, All Is Well, Floating on a Dream, Without Your Lovin. Oops, I forgot Full Moon. I also forgot his newest one, Move Our Souls.

[@AceofBadeReacts]

I'm going to be honest, I didn't realize how many he had

[@stephanie3230]

@AceofBadeReacts oh yeah, one album, 3 eps, singles and the ep he did under Avriel and the Sequoias.

[@dorrit_rosen]

@@stephanie3230 I agree, it’s so easy to make a very long list of favourites because Avi is so amazing.

[@BrittanyAddams]

Wow, what a voice! 😍 Also, I could easily see this being a great opening sequence song for a True Detective season!

[@AceofBadeReacts]

I know I've heard of True Detective, but I don't think I've ever seen anything on it. But I do see Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson are in it

[@cocohol3513]

The musicians are studio musicians that work a lot with Shooter Jennings, who produced his Floating on a Dream album at Sunset Sound studio.

[@AceofBadeReacts]

Shooter Jennings does sound familiar, but I don't know why

[@heatherhuard]

@@AceofBadeReacts He is the son of Waylon Jennings

[@charlottevan_8]

@@heatherhuard And he's a Grammy-winning producer

[@AceofBadeReacts]

@@heatherhuard I see. I don't listen to country typically but maybe someone mentioned their name at one point and that's why it's familiar?

[@elenahume8295]

AVIII IS PURE TALENTT

[@pamscarr8696]

Avi, THE VOICE!

[@AceofBadeReacts]

So good

[@dorrit_rosen]

Love this one, well, to be honest, I love all Avi’s music. I saw him live last week and I’m still on a concert high, he is that good live.

[@AceofBadeReacts]

It's cool that he tours. I didn't even really think about him touring, and yet he posts about it

[@heatherhuard]

Love this one.....and everything else Avi does! But you can tell they all new this was something special. Avi's range is 5 octaves. If you would really like to hear his lows check out Black is the Color of my True Loves Hair with Peter Hollens. # When I'm a Fool

[@AceofBadeReacts]

I'm more curious how high he can go

[@cocohol3513]

@@AceofBadeReactsAvi's higher notes check out He Don't Love you Right or Healing

[@tommieev5589]

I am not suggesting anything else right now because everyone else gave you a great list to start. I loved seeing the big smiles during this reaction! And yes, Avi's little smile at the end is often found after performances (you can even see it on some PTX stuff like "Silent Night"). He can't help smiling at the beauty of music.

[@AceofBadeReacts]

It's definitely a sign that shows he loves what he does

[@charlottevan_8]

The piano player here is Daniel Ellsworth, who was keyboardist on Avi's first solo tour in 2019, and who has played on several of his subsequent recordings, including piano in "Healing", and keyboards in other songs on Avi's "Feel Alright" EP. He has quite a catalog of his own solo music as both a songwriter and performer.

[@AceofBadeReacts]

Oh very cool. I did check out both of those but since it was just showing Avi in those videos I didn't really question who else was playing music. I went ahead and wrote that one down

[@Lookinforrealmusic]

This is wonderful

[@shirleymoffat3338]

The bass player is Ted Kamp, who has his own Wikipedia page. John Scheffler Jnr is the highly talented, super bearded dude on the guitar and Jamie Douglass is on drums. Both have a long list of personal credits while Daniel Ellsworth is a member of The Great Lakes indie band. They are a very talented team!

[@AceofBadeReacts]

Thank you for the information. Are they all in a group together or were they just playing in the studio together?

[@kathyfolkerts4433]

This song really shows his uniquely creative side. It's a vibe.

[@AceofBadeReacts]

It really is

[@andreadee1567]

These little "cow bells" could be an Indonesian Shekere Seed Rattle. African musicians or dancers use them or similar seeds, too, as a foot rattle.

[@AceofBadeReacts]

Thank you so much for the explanation. It was bugging us to not know

[@loritoigo8020]

Check out his latest release, Move our Souls. It's so Avi!
