About Me

Forever Vinyl is an Energetic Rock Cover Band and one of the best in California. We play the best Classic and Modern Rock Covers. Co-founded by Shawn Blakely and Kevin Odom in January 2007. Shawn is a guitarist/vocalist and has a 2-year degree in music from Ventura college and has been in several bands from 1999-2005. Shawn markets the band and is known for his stage energy and is the primary musical arranger. Kevin is the bassist and vocalist. He has a history of leading and performing in barbershop quartets and has a genuine love for singing and entertaining. He's the diplomat in the band and keeps the other members from going crazy. James Avgeris joined the band in August 2007. Adding James on lead guitar and vocals was the turning point for Forever Vinyl. Not only does James have 30 years experience playing guitar, he has toured all over the US and abroad in the 1990's. His lead guitar work is nothing short of outstanding. James created and maintains the bands website - www.forevervinylband.com. Jeff rounds out the band on drums and percussion. Jeff just recently joined the band. Jeff has many years drumming experience and is very versital and dynamic. He is very knowledgable about rhythm patterns and different styles. His great attitude and high energy drive FV's rockin' setlist. Forever Vinyl is available either electrically (with drums) or acoustically. We are available for private parties, Festivals, weddings, bars/clubs, restaurants, corporate parties, and all other special events. We play in the greater L.A. area including Ventura County, Santa Clarita, Inland Empire, South Bay, Orange County, and Central Coast.

My Interests

Playing Music for all of the "Vinyl Heads" that support us and for those who want to be entertained! As a band, we strive to maintain a very high energy, no holds barred show at every event. We also take pride in keeping the dancers on the dance floor and keeping them drinking! That makes everyone happy.... the dancers, the band, and the bartenders! You can see proof of this by watching our videos on our myspace page or at www.forevervinylband.com
