Avalon has seen many changes over the years.  Most of the members have come from
the group Truth (Jody and Rikk were together, then a couple years later Janna joined.
Several years later, Melissa was in the group).  Here is a tour of the different faces of
Avalon and how the group has changed greatly over the years.

Avalon has seen many member changes through the years.  The original
group was Janna (Potter) Long, Michael Passons, Rikk Kittleman and Tabitha
Fair.  Rikk and Tabitha dropped out before the album was recorded as were
replaced by Jody McBrayer and Nikki Hassman.  Here is a look at the
group (1996-1998):


Eventually Nikki dropped out to pursue a solo career and was replaced by
Cherie Paliotta (later Adams).  Here is what Avalon looked like from 1999-2002:


Next, Cherie left to pursue solo opportunities and was replaced
by Melissa Greene.  This version of Avalon was 2003-2004:


After that, Michael left and was replaced by Janna's husband,
Christian artist Greg Long.  This is Avalon from 2004-2007:


And this is the newest look of Avalon.  Jody left because
of health problems and was replaced by Jeremi Richardson:
