"Fueled By Dreams Of The Future" is only the second CD by Dylan McDonald and The Avians, but is the next step in a long musical journey. Led by Dylan McDonald (son of five-time GRAMMY Award-winner Michael McDonald), the band’s primary musical influences are the legendary artists of the 60s and 70s, but they want to create their own path and make a distinct mark on the musical landscape.

Dylan McDonald and The Avians deliver an intoxicating brand of eclectic rock reminiscent of John Lennon and Neil Young. “That comparison is flattering,” McDonald admits. “They are such influences to use musically that it makes sense that people hear it in our music, but I am humbled anyway.” McDonald is the sole songwriter on the record. “Sometimes it is frustrating because people expect to hear my dad’s iconic voice in me…and it’s just not there. Musically we are very different,” McDonald says.

The band features McDonald on lead vocals and guitar, Daniel DeMonico on lead guitar, Will Brown on keys, Alex Geddes on bass guitar and Joshua Cobb on drums. Although DeMonico and McDonald have played together for many years, the current incarnation has come together within the last year. Before the band “evolved” to The Avians, it was called Dylan McDonald and the Stay Highs-- a nod to a certain segment of society that has gravitated to McDonald’s music. He jokes, “Well, my dad was a Doobie Brother!”

“This band is different than any that I have been in,” Cobb confides. “It’s a lot more old school because we record live. It’s all recorded live in the studio and not many bands do that anymore….It’s about being together. I enjoy doing these songs that way. To me, it is like showing respect to the past.”
