Dave Alvin is no stranger to NorCal and he's back with three shows this summer. Growing up in Downey in Southern California, he learned his craft by seeing all the blues greats. He and brother Phil formed the Blasters in the seventies, and he's had many bands since including the Guilty Ones, Dave and Jimmie Dale Gilmore, and the Third Mind. He talks with Brian about song structure, great singers and more.John Courage paid a visit to Morning Music
John Courage is often called upon to accompany musicians as they tour. He's been all through the US and Europe, but he always finds his way back to Santa Rosa, where he grew up. John visited Brian in Studio A recently to talk about dual citizenship, upcoming gigs and, of course, guitars.
