Folk music is very honest, it’s very humble, it’s very organic, and the voice is exactly that. And so I’m very excited to put the two together. — Avi Kaplan

It’s been too long since I’ve written anything about this singer-songwriter.

On May 20, 2022 he officially released his solo debut album, Floating On A Dream, through Fantasy Records. The album was produced entirely by Shooter Jennings (better known as Waylon Jennings, award-winning country singer).

Pairing his rich baritone with sweeping arrangements, it’s a successful debut LP that establishes him as a burgeoning country talent. — No Depression: The Journal of Roots Music

The highlight of this album, of course, is Kaplan’s incredible voice; it’s going to stand out on any project he does. His songwriting and the production here serve to bring out its deep emotional power, making a for highly listenable and enjoyable album. — Entertainment Focus

His voice. The lyrics. They just touch the deepest parts of your soul.

From this album, four songs were recorded LIVE in the Sunset Sound Studio. Included below are for two of the four songs:

I Can’t Lie

When I’m a Fool
