AVALON USA

PROGRESSIVE ROCK

AVALON USA started in 1989, when Jeff Kalmar and Joel Pirard agreed to start a new band together. After having played in ORION, (with John Curtin) they had a good idea of what they could come up with. "We scouted around searching for the people that would eventually make up the band, careful to find musicians of the caliber that had been the strength of our other band, " Jeff stated. Bruce Henninger, was recruited from an advertisement in a musicians' journal, John Curtin had been sitting in from time to time and eventually came aboard as bassist/lead guitarist, soon followed by Dan Bonadeo.
