2016 saw the band reach new heights! Bigger stages, bigger venues and bigger crowds as they press on in their quest for rock and roll supremacy in 2017!
In May of 2014 they opened for the hard rock trio California Breed (Glenn Hughes, Jason Bonham and Andrew Watt) at The Whisky A Go Go. The Aviators have proven that not only can they write great songs and entertain a large crowd, but they can hold their own as a headlining act anywhere! In May of 2014 and April 2016, the band headlined the nations largest Relay for Life event in Bakersfield CA. With 80-100 shows a year including corporate events, private parties and casino gigs, they showed no signs of slowing down!
2015 broke new ground for the young rockers as they went international breaking out in Vancouver and Toronto
Currently playing up and down the California coast and Canada they are a hard rock band that doesn't pull any punches. Powerhouse vocals, dual Les Pauls and a thunderous rhythm section round out this raw and supremely talented group of young dudes!
