Hit songwriters Sam Hollander and Kevin Griffin were deep in the midst of a heated, decade-old holiday music debate (Band Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas" or "A Very Special Christmas" compilations benefitting the Special Olympics) when they both suddenly wondered: where has all the holiday musical philanthropy gone? Where's the give minus the take? And thus, they formed Band of Merrymakers.

Early Praise for Avonmore
“It's been more than 40 years since singer Bryan Ferry started making some of the freshest, most original rock music of the early 1970s in the band Roxy Music… Bryan Ferry is now 69 years old. His voice is a bit deeper and even more alluring.” – NPR

"Don't stop the dance! Ferry's 15th solo album is a vigorous delight." – Uncut

“The 69-year-old British pop icon returns to his signature sound, shifting the focus back to his elegantly restrained crooning and slow-drip melodies.” – SF Chronicle
