ALVIN OLIVERIA joins DRIvIN' RAIN
DRIvIN' RAIN is proud to announce that one guitar player has been hired this weekend. The new guy is a "old friend" of the band Mr. Alvin Oliveria from Memphis. Alvin has played on stage has a members of the band BLACK OAK ARKANSAS, and also with many other acts. He is one amazing guitarist and songwriter. He is a all around musician, and plays everything on the stage. Oliveria has two solo albums (Alvin's Attic and Five Easy Songs) each will be sold on the DRIvIN RAIN merch table and at his personal website. Alvin is also a co-owner of Binghampton Audio Recording Studio in Memphis. This will assure DRIvIN' RAIN will continue to put out quality albums for years to come.
Timexx Nasty says "We first met Alvin when his solo band opened for us at Breakaways in Cape. We were all blown away by his style and charm. He and his band came and hung out with us after the show, and we became good friends. Tommy really loved Alvin's songs and playing. He would be very happy to see Alvin in this band. Plus it did not hurt Alvin that Jim Dandy, Rickie Lee Reynolds and Hal McCormack each called me personally to give him a great reference. When rock stars call and say, "get this guy", you get that guy!"
Skully Shemwell say's "We have listened to several audio recordings and spoke on the phone with many applicants. Some things you just know to be right. Some things you know immediately does NOT feel right. Musically, I listened very intently to Rhythm Styles, Song-to-song Style Variations, Lead Talent (Lead Soloist, or just Emphatic Rythm player?), Songwriting, and TRUE emotion. Alvin truly fits the bill on all counts and more."
"The added bonus of him co-owning a professional Memphis studio ensures that fans and Record Labels alike will no longer be put through the agony we ALL felt with Delightfully Evil in trying to produce and package a finished product and have it ready available in a short period of time!"
