Classic rock redemption. AvMo and his Les Paul bring classic rock meets folk jams.
Welcome to the new sound of 70s classic rock music, AvMo style.
I have been writing music since I was 16 years old and my grandmother would tell me to “keep it down!” Today, I am turning all my classic tunes over to the glorious listeners on the internet to enjoy - hopefully you like it better than my Nona!
My greatest inspirations when recording are classic rock bands such as the Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Eric Clapton and Styx. Their music has provided a soundtrack to my life, from my days as a basketball player in high school to the old rocker I am now!
I am launch a new EP this summer called “Bittersweet” which is my take on the theme of love through different rock genres and angles. My son challenged me to come out with a sick EP and I think I have. Can’t wait for you all to discover it.

The Power of Music
The music drifts in so sweetly,
Riding on its melody,
Accompanied by its harmony,
And I am feeling so light now,
My problems seem to drift away,
Until they feel so far away.
That is the power of music,
It holds you up when you’re feeling down (oh yeah).
Can’t really fight it,
The feeling seems to take right over,
I don’t want it to stop.
I am feeling great,
I am being taken away,
So far away.
As I close my eyes,
Flash back through my memory,
All my favorite bands in history.
All the greats are ringing in my ears,
Aerosmith, Styx and April Wine
The Stones and Queen, they sound so fine.
They made such sweet music,
They were my idols down the line.
They got me through it all,
The good times and the bad,
I can hear them now
I am feeling great,
I am being taken away,
So far away.
I am listening to the mix,
Sounds are bouncing from here to there,
They’re put together with such great care.
And the guitar is wailing.
Riding the feedback so carefully,
Screaming out the notes so beautifully,
Waiting for them to hit the stage,
Anticipation is running wild,
They played them held down low,
That’s what’s a rock show,
I loved them so.
I am feeling great,
I am being taken away,
So far away.
