A.V.O.C.A.D.O. …An Ode to the Green Fruit & Festival

Spencer The Gardener is a band from Santa Barbara with strong ties to the avofest. They have released 6 CDs and their latest, a stripped down kid/family affair called "Organic Gangster" features the song "A.V.O.C.A.D.O"....an ode to the green fruit. They also feature Carpinteria native John Schnackenberg on Saxophone and while their sunny, surfy, latin California style has taken them all over the world, they look forward to October and the Avofest and being home!
