Summer Shows and Big Crowds!

Those words sum up the recent Avishai summer on the road.

We pass on our BIGGEST THANKS to all of YOU, who managed to make it to one of the live trio shows. It was high energy with wonderful crowds everywhere, whenever Avishai was on stage.

We appreciate all your kind personal messages and support and now we take some rest before the next tour in October. For those of you who missed out this summer, check out one of the live recordings from the Paleo Festival in Switzerland
