Editor's note

Avi Kaplan's quiet folk turn after Pentatonix

The former a cappella bass voice now writes personal songs about place and peace.

For the full picture, listen to 'It Knows Me' and then 'Sweet Adeline (part II)'. They show the range from introspective to gently hopeful in his current sound.

Kaplan's solo work feels like a deliberate step away from the vocal fireworks of Pentatonix toward something more grounded. Songs like 'Born in California' and 'Nature Girl' trade complex arrangements for simple, earthy melodies. He's building a catalog that feels closer to the folk and bluegrass he heard growing up in Asheville.

He started at local open mics before joining Pentatonix in 2011. After leaving the group in 2018, his 2022 album 'Change on the Rise' and songs like 'Aberdeen' marked a shift toward solo folk and country songwriting.

Archive material and source history

Avi Kaplan grew up in Asheville, North Carolina, where he absorbed the folk and bluegrass sounds of the region. He started performing at local open mics before joining the a cappella group Pentatonix in 2011, where his bass vocals became part of their sound.

After several years with Pentatonix, Kaplan began releasing solo material. His 2022 album 'Change on the Rise' included the title track, which became a fan favorite. Other songs like 'Aberdeen' and 'All Is Well' with Joy Williams show his move toward more personal songwriting with folk and country elements.

He left Pentatonix in 2018 to focus on his own music, though the existing history doesn't detail what came next. The songs suggest he's working in a quieter, more acoustic space than his earlier group work.
