I’ve been influenced by band like R.E.M., The Beatles, U2, The Doors, Simon and Garfunkel, Jars of Clay, and Song writers like Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, and Larry Norman and Ludwig van Beethoven. Also Ron Howard, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg influence my sound track ideas. "Blue Pie" Alva's first album of all-new material an eclectic set of songs. A magnified view of lost and lonely hearts. And a reminder that all of us play an important roll in those around us. Alva songs remind us of how fragile humanity is and that lightening up and having fun is good thing. So Sing along or just listen to the music full of magic and love.
