Floating On A Dream is the debut solo LP by Avi Kaplan. Produced by GRAMMY Award-winner Shooter Jennings (Brandi Carlile, Tanya Tucker, American Aquarium) and mixed by Trina Shoemaker (Brandi Carlile, Queens Of The Stone Age, Sheryl Crow), the album was written over the Covid shutdown and recorded at the legendary Sunset Sound Studios in Hollywood, CA. Deepening a musical evolution that began with 2020’s I’ll Get By EP and carried through last year’s “Song For the Thankful,” Floating On A Dream broadens Avi’s sound further into enthralling new territory, adding strains of blues, soul, tribal drums and a touch of gospel to his beautifully elemental acoustic driven rock. (Avi’s first featured guest Joy Williams, co-wrote and sings on the track, “All Is Well.” Shooter’s influence can be heard in the album’s sprawling Western scope, with piano, pedal steel, guitars and layered harmonies framing Avi’s indelibly intense, expressive vocals.
