The Avant Garde was an American psychedelic pop group that formed in the late 1960s and was known for their complex harmonies and melodic structures. The band consisted of notable members Chuck Woolery, who would later gain fame as a TV game show host, and Elkin 'Bubba' Fowler, a session musician for Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen. Their sound was characterized by a mix of folk, rock, and psychedelic influences, and they were best known for their single, "Naturally Stoned," which reached the Billboard Hot 100. Despite their short-lived career, the Avant Garde's unique sound left a lasting imprint on the 60s psychedelic pop genre.
