Award Winning Indie Musician Avi Wisnia

Avi Wisnia is the winner of the 2009 OutMusic Awards Outsanding Jazz Song award.

Avi presents an eclectic mix of refreshingly original songs, finding inspiration in classic Brazilian bossa nova, acoustic American folk, 1950’s west-coast jazz, and contemporary pop. A wordsmith as well as a composer and performer, Avi’s clever lyrics give a knowing nod to those that came before, while his smooth vocals and deft piano skills assure you that this is truly something new.

  • 12:15 @BlowTheTrumpet I’m pretty direct face-to-face and I’m guessing my snippiest comments are about 140 characters long! #
  • 12:18 @sandykidd Speaking your tweets before you type them . . . I never do it. But sometimes I type/edit/type/edit before I post them. #
  • 12:20 @BlowTheTrumpet I always tell my partner: If something I said sounded bitchy, it was most likely meant to be bitchy. *snicker* #
  • 12:28 @BlowTheTrumpet Ha! Oprah didn’t want her show to become all Jerry-Springer-like! Great advice to Tyler. #

  • 17:13 Navy To Lift Ban On Women Serving On Subs : NPR bit.ly/dC9KAm (hmm. . . when will women be able to get drafted?) #
  • 18:32 @onemorelesbian – Can we vote twice? I wanna vote for @AnyoneButMe and @SeekingSimone. bit.ly/bOsFcP #
  • 18:34 @onemorelesbian – I see a couple of lesbian web series I didn’t know about yet! Must check them out soon. #
  • 18:41 Oh.my.gawd. There’s an angry Black woman named Monique on GirlTrash. That dictates a quick press of the STOP button. Next! #
  • 18:43 @losangelista You too!? To their credit, they have a stereotypical dumb blonde in the series, too. So it ain’t a racial thing. #
  • 18:50 @onemorelesbian I’m passing on The Dinah. I will cheer them on from here! #
  • 18:52 @losangelista Umm, yep, That’s the storyline. Did you just guess that, or have you seen it? #
  • 19:16 @Tweetsbian Now THAT, I agree with. #
  • 19:36 One Letter a Day Until Same-Sex Marriage is Legal – bit.ly/aaqp12 #
  • 19:44 Did I mention I’m attending BlogHer 10? I’m participating in a panel discussion on bringing sex out of the closet. #
  • 19:46 Question for the same-gender couples planning a wedding: How did you decide who would propose to whom? #
  • 19:50 @BlowTheTrumpet I’m excited about the topic. Should be informative and entertaining. #
  • 19:51 @jarengreystone Did you both wear engagement rings? If so, what style did you use – something that doesn’t look like a wedding band? #
  • 19:53 @dolphyngyrl Andrea and I looked at each other and said . . . "Wait, are same-sex couples having that discussion?" #
  • 20:00 @stillpixels It does kinda kill the element of surprise, right? #
  • 20:06 @dolphyngyrl For the most part yes, but I know hetero couples who are not like that. The girl proposed to the guy. #

  • 09:44 @DDavis2 Oh, I will continue to watch it . . . and call out every misstep and stupid move. #

  • 12:10 Guns now permitted in national parks, but firing gun in national park still prohibited – bit.ly/aWI2JC (umm, ok) #
  • 13:52 @BethanyBriggs You have your mind made up, so do I. I say it’s pathetic; you love it. We’ll never agree – for obvious reasons. #
  • 13:53 @Snapperpacheco I’m just calling it as I see it. Others may see it differently. #
  • 13:54 @iMulah Now that’s one Twitter account that should be very entertaining to watch. #
