The emotion and passion he puts into his performance has the audience totally captivated, and all of a sudden the rather spacious auditorium feels so intimate. It’s soulful, fragile, feminine, somewhere between Janis Joplin and Nina Simone. Asaf Avidan has toured and collaborated with multiple artists including Robert Plant, Lou Reid and Bob Dylan.Īsaf Avidan, one time frontman of Asaf Avidan and the Mojos and now a solo act is an enthralling gig to see live, drawing you in from the opening fingerpicked chords of “My Latest Sin.” The very first time you hear his voice you can’t quite believe it. The album was a top 30 hit in Belgium, France and Italy. In 2012, Asaf Avidan released “Different Pulses”. The extensive positive response he received from critics and fans alike paved the way for the release of his first studio album.
Prior to releasing his debut solo album, Avidan toured Israel where he performed intimate acoustic shows. The move was not a total shock to the band as Asaf Avidan had played extensively as a solo artist throughout his time with the band. In 2011 Avidan decided to break away from The Mojos and pursue an entirely solo career. The 2008 release, “The Reckoning”, went to the top of the Israeli album charts and did considerably well in France as well as other European countries. During his time with the band, Asaf Avidan released three studio albums: “The Reckoning”, “Poor Boy / Lucky Man” and “Through the Gale”. The group became incredibly successful within Israel and played throughout the country to adoring crowds.
In 2006, Avidan formed the famous folk rock group Asaf Avidan & The Mojos with Ran Nir, Yoni Sheleg, Roi Peled and Hadas Kleinman. Only heartbreak could give Asaf Avidan the creative jolt he needed to bring his talent into being and watch it shine. While bittersweet for Avidan, fans of the talented musician have his ex-girlfriend to thank for the extensive music he has brought into the world.
