      If memory serves me right Avi won the first ever award for human bass guitar, and is a classically trained opera singer. During the competition show "The Sing Off" Avi and Kevin got to be know as "Meat and Potatoes"because of the way they held down rhythm section in Pentatonix.

      Avi did all the vocal tracks, including the killer bass undertones. There are instruments, mainly percussion, playing. Live version includes keyboard, drums, bass and electric guitars.
      Check out Full Moon to hear more of his higher range. He has an acoustic version - with him playing the guitar while singing.

I think there's more percussion than just a drum, but he tweeted right after the premiere that he uses some percussion and "a little bit of organ," but that all the vocals are him.

    Jase, you’ve been brought to another level of perfection!! Avi never disappoints!! With that said, you asked for a story(Avi-I’ll Get By).... Resonates so much with this song and video in many ways and years of my life.... My Sister was killed in a car accident on Mother’s Day, my Dad passed away on March 22,2013. My Younger Brother had a brain tumor removed and suffered a stroke during surgery that same year(November 4,2013). So now, in my life with the ones I Love Dearly(Mom,Brother, and My Brothers Son who is 7).... With All on my shoulders, “I’ll Get By”, is my “Theme Song”!!! Thank you Leslie for the request”Change on The Rise”!! Thank You Jase for Your Awesome Content and Reactions!! Much Love, Billy😌♥️

    I'll add another Avi request, but it's not one that is mentioned here. The first solo single he released (well, Avriel and the Sequoias, which was his first solo project) was entitled "Fields and Pier". It is *not* a cappella (he plays his guitar throughout, there are strings, and Kevin's custom-tuned cello is heard as well), but it is a wonderful song. The scenery is lovely too--Avi searched for locations to film the video, and while much of it was filmed in Central California (where he grew up), the pier is in Oregon. It is very different from anything he ever did with Pentatonix, and is quite different from "Change on the Rise" as well (although, to be fair, *everything* he has done is different from "Change on the Rise").

    You might put Peter Hollens on your list. Most of his stuff is human-voice only (a lot of covers, medleys, mashups, & a few parodies), and while he's done a number of colabs (including with Avi Kaplin & Tim Faust), most of his work is layered harmonies of... himself. Also, if you haven't already seen it: Weird Al-- Word Crimes.

    On his studio tracks he does a bunch of layering/harmonizing with his own voice, mixes his low notes with instruments like cello, base drum etc, adds whatever he feels like to create the atmosphere he initially imagined for said song to have
    At concert the arrangements are more "concert-y" (I think I don't know how to say), with band that changes, and his voice live is the frickin SAME quality if not better 👌🤩

    I love the tone of his voice, it's like dark chocolate :), so warm and rich !! He's a great vocalist , but does a lot of whistling in his songs and he can do overtone singing , you should check that out,
    it's awesome !!
    All the vocals you hear are his , there's only some organ in it and a tambourine I think. Other great songs are "Full Moon" , " I'll get by" , "Born in California" .

    This song/video is bringing out the storyteller in me.
    I see the young Avi leading a night time revolt against a powerful and reclusive man who has let his wealth distance him from the needs of the people. He wins the battle and gains the respect of the whole village, bringing him wealth and power, but as he ages, he finds that he loses touch with what the people want.
    He retreats to his empty mansion in the woods only to look out one night and see his younger self leading a revolt against him. Even as his material wealth smolders around him he realizes that he changed nothing. He can only hope his next self will learn this lesson before it's too late.
