“Averi will steal your girlfriend,” according to the Boston Phoenix. Not literally, but the band’s passionate, loyal supporters have a tough time pulling themselves away from listening to and seeing the Boston five-some. Since 2001, Averi has been packing Northeast clubs and colleges, doing damage down the East Coast and into the mid-West and have been featured alongside such artists as Gavin DeGraw, Guster, Barenaked Ladies, Goo Goo Dolls, Hanson, Backstreet Boys, Matchbox20 and many more

Averi’s hook-filled rock anthems, introspective ballads and sax-tinged pop-soul gems left a serious impression in 2005, with the release of their sophomore disc Drawn to Revolving Doors, produced by Scott Riebling (Letters to Cleo, American Hi-Fi), sold independently to nearly every state in the U.S. as well as 22 countries around the world.

The Boston Globe was right with their prediction, Averi was THE act to watch in 2005, having finished up the year headlining the Avalon Ballroom (2000-person capacity), receiving four Boston Music Award nominations, and being named Newbury Comics/Boston Phoenix’s “Best Wicked Good Band.” Undoubtedly, Averi is one of the country’s top unsigned acts and independent music juggernauts.

The band has a new record in the works for 2006, laced with the incendiary duo of singer/guitarist Mike Golarz and saxophonist/everything-but-the-kitchen-sink provider Michael Currier, supported by the strong-armed guitar playing of Stuart Berk and the titanium rhythm section of Chris Tilden (bass) and Matt Lydon (drums).
