LINK: Ogden Music Festival Schedule
Guitarist/singer/songwriter Dave Alvin likes to say that there are two kinds of folk music, loud and quiet -- and it so happens that he plays both.
While he might not have household name status, Alvin has left an indelible mark on a variety of styles of American roots music. In his early 20s, he and his older brother Phil and their band The Blasters roared out of Downey, Calif., in the late '70s, scoring an international hit with the first song the younger brother ever wrote -- "Marie, Marie."
Though the band never equaled that first success chart-wise, the group had a solid run before the younger Alvin went out on his own in 1986.
He since has worked solo, and also as a featured sideman in such defining and varied Los Angeles bands as the punk outfit X, death rockers The Flesh Eaters and the country-punk group The Knitters.
But it is as frontman for his own projects that Alvin has made his mark, growing from a much-in-demand guitarist into a songwriter's songwriter. His tunes have been recorded by such artists as Dwight Yoakam, Kelly Willis, Los Lobos and Joe Ely, and featured in television shows and movies including "The Sopranos," "Six Feet Under" and "Cry Baby."

Hi, on my practice amp, the Frontman, it has distortion. The bassman 10 does not. Will it work or ruin either amp if I run a plug through the Frontmans headphone jack and connect that to the Bassman 10s input? I dont wanna ruin them
If you put the volume too loud it could blow them out
Well just as the question says really.
I have a frontman 15g amp and a zoom 2.1u effects pedal.
I'm using an epiphone les paul standard.
Looking for that Led Zep sound or an early appetite for destruction Slash sound.
Thanks
