This ole gal is in my 70's, and if I could get down to New York from this Maine island I'd do it! Avi, his voice, his personality, how genuine he is , his musicians, all combine to create a show totally worth going to! I love your reactions to him, Thank You!
You know how they say "Love" makes food taste so much better, I think that is why so many of us love Avi and his music because like you said he is so relatable and we can literally feel the love he has for people and his music through his singing. He is real, he doesn't put on a show or try to be more than he is. To so many of us dealing with depression, anxiety and other mental health concerns, especially after the past few years he is a place to find comfort and peace. I've said once or twice Avi is a peace-bringer. Keep reacting to Avi he is literally my favorite singer!
Scott once wrote a lullaby for his nephew and asked Avi to sing lead on it because his voice was the smoothest and suited the song so well. It's called "Light in the Hallway." Don't know if there's a video, but you should have a listen to the song; it's beautiful. Love Avi. Great reaction!
We all feel as you do about this glorious human being. Amazing just doesn't seem to cover his voice, music, songwriting or personality. Adore him❤️❤️❤️
There is only one Avi. I truly believe he is a once in a lifetime legend. I can 't hear him sing enough. My soul is at ease when he sings. Just amzaing...
A funny story about the filming of this video - they were able to bring everything into the upstairs loft of the barn, except for the piano. No one had realized beforehand that it wouldn't be possible to hoist the piano they planned to use up through the doors that are behind Noah Denney, the drummer. It was too large and too heavy, so they sent out some folks to track down a smaller piano and ended up with the one you see in the video (if I'm remembering correctly, as I can't find the original post from Avi about it) by renting it from a nearby church. Sometimes ya just gotta wing it...
I know what you mean - I sent my Mom his I'll Get By CD for Christmas. Everyone should hear his music at least once. His style isn't for everyone, I understand that, but eveyone should hear and appreciate his voice and his lyrics. Even my husband, who hates PTX, is going with me to Nashville to see Avi perform. That's the power of perfection...aka Avi Kaplan.
He first played this during quarantine at a virtual concert. We all were blown away by it. Avi is a trained opera singer and that's how he can do these things and he continues to take voice lessons. Avi's animal spirit is the dragon 🐉 you know 🙂 in an old PTX experience episode Scott was teasing him about it and he told Scott if he didn't stop they could take it outside to settle the matter. He repeats his feeling about dragons in this interview from his record label Fantasy. Quite a fun one. th-cam.com/video/P3Y869_k0cE/w-d-xo.html
Avis tenor voice is like warm melted honey that covers every nerve ending in a person body, and then his deep whiskey soaked bass makes lightening go right through those honey coated nerve endings. and when he sings he takes his heart out and hands it to each one of his listeners with his soul begging for us to love him, he can make you smile and cry at the same time. he is a beautiful man with a beautiful soul.
Avi, who is now in the Netherlands where I live, is now performing 70 kilometers from me. The idea gives me shivers. But at the same time, I can also cry because I can't be there. That was and is a great wish of mine. Avi Kaplan is my big favorite
I just saw him in Manchester last Sunday. And I’m absolutely gutted that I can’t follow him around Europe! He sounds even better live than he does on a recording! Go see him if you get the chance! I’ve been to loads of gigs/concerts and this one was my absolute favourite!!
Really happy to see on his Insta account that he was blown away by the love he received in Manchester & London. For those of us who couldn't go & see him, the fans in the UK showed up and represented us brilliantly - Thank you.
@@greatauntielou6158 it was a great night! We travelled down from Glasgow because there wasn’t a Scottish date but it was absolutely worth every penny spent!!
you're welcome, you're welcome, you're welcome; and thank YOU for reacting to this. I am so glad that I rightly predicted how much you would enjoy this (especially that end part where he starts just letting his voice soar and sink). I truly hope you are able to make New York happen.
His voice has a quality that has been described as warm chocolate, smooth, comforting, and a warm blanket on a cold winter night. Don't know exactly what it is, but it's true. It's all of that. And his songs are just...(sigh) amazing.
I really enjoy Avi's solo music. This folk style of music really suits him. It is completely different from all the pop stuff he did with PTX. I was never a fan of them. He seems more at peace now doing the music he loves.
This is a hard song to get through. Many thoughts went through my mind listening to this, I was relating to it to the end. It was painful. I know what he was singing about, that place our minds go when we really don't want them to, yet they always go back to a painful memory. I just would feel helpless unable to stop keep getting pulled back. I cried a lot the first time I heard this one.
I don't think you've listened to the lullaby Scott wrote & asked Avi to sing because of the chocolate velvet of his voice. Light In The Hallway. Please react to it! It's absolutely beautiful! 💖
If there’s any way for you to make it to his NY concert, absolutely do it! If it’s possible, you’ll fall in love with him even more when you see him in person. Honestly, I was blown away by how adorable and humble he was. Just like everyone told me. It’s somehow different to actually feel it yourself though. His music is incredible, and fills your soul. He gives a voice to those of us who understand his lyrics perfectly. Love your love for him ♥️
I wish there was a LOVE button instead of just like. Love your reactions to Avi mirrors my feelings to a T. Can't wait for the next ones. There are several videos from his European tour.
Great recommendation!! Just listened to the one from 2013 and then this one from a year ago. Wow what a difference in his voice! 🔥🔥🔥 th-cam.com/video/635s6XlVCTg/w-d-xo.html
Yes…”EVERYTHING” sums up Avi!!! So glad you finally got back to his solo work! 😍 And he did sing lead on one PTX song (Standing By) that wasn’t bass. Here’s a live version: th-cam.com/video/iASS_9-xbrk/w-d-xo.html Great reaction! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Halleluya, Imagine, Mary Did You know and Light in the Hallway are just a few PTX songs where Avi starts to show us his range. there are more. Just more to explore, for you.
Great vocals. Fantastic performance. Love the lyrics. He's got range, just like Tim Foust and Geoff Castelluchi. Tomi P. also has great range for a bass singer. However, though he hasn't sung as low yet, nobody beats the vocal range of Dimash Kudaibergen. He doesn't show his full range in his original song "Stranger", he demonstrates unbelievable range.
I just listened to a very recent (March 20, 2022) interview with Avi, on his tour in Europe. It’s on the ARC TH-cam channel. Look it up if you have a chance.
I'm going to throw this in as no one ever plays this song. I think this was done around 2012, it's called Turn Up the Music and it's a cover performed by Peter Hollens ft. Scott Hoying, th-cam.com/video/jTNh1yn-qrs/w-d-xo.html. it's, to me, different from what Peter generally produces.
Bummed it was only available to Patrons....I can't afford to be one....I still enjoyed your reaction to it....Agree with your analysis....Isn't there some way to fade video a little...some put little glittery frame around the video...Ok lets see ..
It would be helpful if you de-cluttered your background so that we can see the artist thumbnails more clearly. Right now the captions only say ‘Saucey Dad’. We know who you are. Please focus on the artists.
He got copywrite claimed so he had to cover up the video. Not Saucey's fault. The reaction is from when he thought everyone would be able to see the video.

Well said Amanda
A peace-bringer. That is such a wonderful description. I might also add, a light-bringer.
Scott once wrote a lullaby for his nephew and asked Avi to sing lead on it because his voice was the smoothest and suited the song so well. It's called "Light in the Hallway." Don't know if there's a video, but you should have a listen to the song; it's beautiful. Love Avi. Great reaction!
Yes, there are a couple of videos of Avi singing "Light in the Hallway", both with PTX and again solo ~~Absolutely beautiful!
We all feel as you do about this glorious human being. Amazing just doesn't seem to cover his voice, music, songwriting or personality. Adore him❤️❤️❤️
There is only one Avi. I truly believe he is a once in a lifetime legend. I can 't hear him sing enough. My soul is at ease when he sings. Just amzaing...
I agree…Avi is everything! His voice is so rich throughout his entire range.

Nice to know I have a "dragon brother".
My spirit animal is a dragon also!! I’m so glad that Avi is my dragon brother!
Avi is just amazing !!

Why can you not be there?
@@nmv-9526 I had no transportation to go there.
@@JoanN63 Oh no, that's a disappointment! I'm sorry for you.
Even other bass singers love Avi. Tomi P released a tribute, an Avi Kaplan Medley on his channel. Stay tuned to the outro for a surprise!
Wow, so cool. Peter Barber speaks very highly of Tomi P. I wasn’t familiar him.
Omg! I just watched the Tomi P Avi Kaplan Medley. I won't spoil the surprise ending but it is hilarious!
@@lleldridge1 The Bass Gang seem like a great group of guys. I wasn't aware of them until I watched Mortius.
Yes, please react to Tomi P's Avi Medley. 🥰
@@lleldridge1 Peter Barber just uploaded his reaction to this on his channel today.

Wasn’t it a wonderful night? Just fantastic.
This song WRECKED me the first time I heard it. It came to me at exactly the right moment and I was destroyed. Hi Saucey :)
Melts my mind heart and soul every time I hear this man sing!!
you're welcome, you're welcome, you're welcome; and thank YOU for reacting to this. I am so glad that I rightly predicted how much you would enjoy this (especially that end part where he starts just letting his voice soar and sink). I truly hope you are able to make New York happen.
Yes, Tommie, thank you for requesting this! We are so rich, rich, richer....

I totally get your reaction. Avi’s music just flows into my heart and soul and it will always be a part of my life.
I get to see him live tomorrow. I can't wait. Love his music. Thanks for the great reaction

Check out his new Song "I can't lie " You will love it, well I do 😄😍 much love from Germany ❤
💕 Avi always makes me feel better! Have a nice day😊

Avi Avi Avi....that's all I can say.
My favourite Avi song 🥰🥰🥰
I feel the same way about Avi's music and voice
I wish there was a LOVE button instead of just like. Love your reactions to Avi mirrors my feelings to a T. Can't wait for the next ones. There are several videos from his European tour.
An early acoustic , "Tumbleweed" links the PTX Avi with the current Avi, IMO. I love it. It's 8 years old .
Great recommendation!! Just listened to the one from 2013 and then this one from a year ago. Wow what a difference in his voice! 🔥🔥🔥 th-cam.com/video/635s6XlVCTg/w-d-xo.html
And it's an Avi original song as usual
@@gailseatonhumbert well, I shouldn’t be surprised, since I like it so much…it seems all my faves are written by him. 🥰
I remember right before he released it on TH-cam he did a live explaining that it was about his anxiety. It's a very powerful song. Thanks
This is my favorite of his solo work!
Yes…”EVERYTHING” sums up Avi!!! So glad you finally got back to his solo work! 😍 And he did sing lead on one PTX song (Standing By) that wasn’t bass. Here’s a live version: th-cam.com/video/iASS_9-xbrk/w-d-xo.html
Great reaction! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Avi's "Standing By" is heart-touching!
@@cathyboyce6457 it’s one of my faves! 🥰
Yesss! Definitely one of the best! Why do more people not react to it?
Avi wrote Standing By as well. Always, along with Light in the Hallway (written by Scott always sung by Avi) tour only specials.
@@gailseatonhumbert it’s too bad there aren’t official videos for these - I’m sure they would get many more reactions if there were.
Love so much!
Peter Barber just dropped his analysis of Tomi P's Avi Kaplan Medley! :)
Very emotional song
Halleluya, Imagine, Mary Did You know and Light in the Hallway are just a few PTX songs where Avi starts to show us his range. there are more. Just more to explore, for you.
Great vocals. Fantastic performance. Love the lyrics. He's got range, just like Tim Foust and Geoff Castelluchi. Tomi P. also has great range for a bass singer. However, though he hasn't sung as low yet, nobody beats the vocal range of Dimash Kudaibergen. He doesn't show his full range in his original song "Stranger", he demonstrates unbelievable range.
Avi said he wrote this song about his mental health.
Dude! Are your kids okay with you stealing all their toys?! 🤣
Love love love his work post PTX!!!
Hoping to hear more Avi soon! There are many out there you have not done yet. Please consider 🙏
I just listened to a very recent (March 20, 2022) interview with Avi, on his tour in Europe. It’s on the ARC TH-cam channel. Look it up if you have a chance.
I'm going to throw this in as no one ever plays this song. I think this was done around 2012, it's called Turn Up the Music and it's a cover performed by Peter Hollens ft. Scott Hoying, th-cam.com/video/jTNh1yn-qrs/w-d-xo.html. it's, to me, different from what Peter generally produces.
You have to try 'i'll get by'
