Averi is a rock ban that formed in Boston, Massachusetts in 1998 while the members were students at local colleges and universities. The band grew in local popularity rather quickly, and even had a strong national following. It was no mystery that the band was one of few bands in Boston, at the time, that garnered a lot of label attention. However, due to member changes and other events, the band has been inactive since early 2007. The band was composed of Mike Golarz (vocals/guitar), Michael Currier (saxophone/vocals), Stuart Berk (lead guitar), Chris Tilden (bass), and Matt Lydon (drums). Chad Perrone was the former lead singer/guitarist/principal songwriter. He left the band in late 2005.
