Hey McAvene Fans!!

RE-VAMPED BAND: First of all, welcome Bret Vanderhyden on drums! Paul ‘Booty Bass’ Wilcox is still holding down the low end with his rockin’ bass lines. Anders ‘Ace’ Bergstrom now has a new electric arsenal including mandolin, guitar, piano and a slurry of pedals and effects. And of course Mr. McAvene is holding it down with his genius songwriting, melding soul bending acoustic guitar with insightful lyrics.

FAN CONTEST: Come to one of McAvene’s upcoming shows, study and watch Bret’s new moves on the drum kit, and help the band come up with a nick name for Mr. Vanderhyden!
