Averi Lyrics Follow

Averi is a rock band that formed in Boston, Massachusetts in 1998 when the members were students at local colleges and universities. The band grew in local popularity rather quickly, and eventually developed a strong national following. It was no mystery that from 2001 through 2005, the band was one of only a handful in Boston which was garnering considerable label attention. In mid-2005, however, a major lineup change profoundly affected the band's long-term outlook when Mike Golarz (lead vocals and guitar) took over as lead singer for former frontman (and fan-favorite) Chad Perrone, who had decided to leave the band under contentious circumstances to pursue a solo career.
Despite the change, original members Michael Currier (saxophone and backing vocals), Stuart Berk (lead guitar), Chris Tilden (bass), and Matt Lydon (drums) chose to continue performing under the Averi name with Golarz singing songs that Perrone had written, recorded, and performed with the band previously. Despite a generally positive opinion of Golarz's voice shared among fans on the band's website forums and social media, fan-written reviews of Averi performances during Golarz's tenure were mixed. A recurring theme in reviews held that the band's performances of some of popular pre-Golarz era songs, while generally fine, were too far a departure from the originals as Perrone and Golarz had substantially different vocal styles. Ultimately, the generally mixed reception of the band's live performances after Perrone's departure led to the band's inactivity which began in 2007 and continues through today.
