This coming weekend joy and jubilation with descend on southern Vermont. For as long as I have known him Avi Salloway has always brought a smile to my face. Watching the joy that crosses his face every time he lifts his guitar and hangs it on his shoulder, he commands a smile that is infectious and a vibe that will shake you to your core. There is beauty in this individual and the collective folks he choses to share his sounds with in Billy Wylder and they are coming for you this weekend for a celebratory event in Manchester, Vermont.
