Bio:
Brooklyn based singer/songwriter/guitarist Avi Fox-Rosen is quickly emerging as a distinctive voice in music. Fox-Rosen's two full-length records: “One” and “The Amazing Frozen String Quartet” show the breadth and depth of his song craft and bring the return of true Americana music. The records span a huge range of sounds, textures, emotions, and settings. Ringing acoustic guitars collide with majestic string quartet arrangements; a lilting falsetto is offset by lap steel feedback; poetic musings are painted in simple melodies, rich textures, and danceable grooves.

“One” is a record that is unmistakably fresh and distinctive, yet hearkens back to classic, lush recordings of the mid 70s. It establishes Avi both as a songwriter grounded in the simple meeting of words and melody, and as an album conceptualist who is able to realize his work in its full spectrum of sound.

“The Amazing Frozen String Quartet” is a record dedicated to the explosion of roots music through juxtaposition, unexpected arrangements and irreverence. Taking cues from Americana, bluegrass, noise rock, and American popular song, Avi leads this adventuresome foursome with Benjy Fox-Rosen on upright bass and kazoo, Myk Freedman on lap steel, and Joey Weisenberg on mandolin and harmonica.

Both “One” and “The Amazing Frozen String Quartet” are beautiful, inspiring, and fun listens.
