Avalon Stanley

Rock \ Folk

AVALON STANLEY is a musician & actor from Mount Pearl, Newfoundland, who after touring the world with an award winning stage play for over a decade, looked to alter course artistically, with a new challenge and an old love – Music.

In 2008 he began intently focusing on the craft of songwriting, passionately fostering his unique voice in the nightclubs of St. John’s, with his alt- rock band at the time, japanbaTTeries. Opening for such acts as Rich Aucoin, The Pathological Lovers, Sean Panting & Mark Bragg – Stanley soon developed a solid live set of original material.

Though he has been songwriting for decades, his self-produced debut EP, ‘BURN’, was only released in 2014. The album is edgy, emotional & eclectic. The sound ranges from the stripped down singer-songwriter stylings of the title track ‘Burn’ to the driving rock n’ roll beat of ‘No Train-No Plan’. From the soaring sax in the funk infected ‘Game of Shades’, to the moody delay drenched guitar of ‘While You Were Sleeping’ : this debut EP runs the gamut.

‘Burn’ was made possible with the support of an ever-expanding band known as ‘The Isthmus’, which includes; Chris Dreidzic on drums (New Zazoo, The Kremlin); Evan Mercer on bass (Branch Ricky); Steve Ryan on lead guitar (japanbaTTeries); and newcomer Miranda Power lending her formidable vocal talents to the mix.

Expect fresh new recordings from Avalon Stanley in 2018.
