“A bright and energetic combination of folk, country, bluegrass and rock… Each track, including the slower ones, is filled with so much energy… The EP is artfully arranged — its pace is perfectly timed, satisfying the listener and creating a twinge of regret when the songs give way to silence. Woods-Smith manages to summon the weary wisdom and acquiescence of a woman much older than her own 22 years, while also possessing a wide-eyed drifter sort of sincerity. Salloway’s deep, smooth vocals compliment Woods’ perfectly, possessing all the rugged richness of an appropriate male counterpart. The instruments mirror their sound obediently, each guitar solo exhibiting the same ability to be warm, mischievous and full of spirit.” Performer Magazine Avi & Celia are both 22-year-old native New Englanders and filled with spirit, vision, and ambition. Avi J. Salloway and Celia J. Woods-Smith were brought together while studying at the University of Vermont in 2003. Since then they have released their debut CD, Off the Floor. Their original album prompted famed Vermont music venue Higher Ground to award them Artist of the Month in March 2007. Avi & Celia have since toured the Eastern United States and California in celebration of their new record, including performances at legendary venues and festivals such as Club Passim, Higher Ground, and the Champlain Valley Folk Festival. Open minded and full of enthusiasm, Avi & Celia are writing conscious material bound together by tight harmonies and the spirit of a musical revival.
