He recently performed at the Star-Studded Benefit Concert for Christopher Rodriguez at Yoshi's with Narada Michael Walden, Kai Eckhardt, Frank Martin, Carol Alban, Matt Herskowitz, John Santos, Jose Neto, Tina Glenn and many others. Just a few months ago he was a guest performer at the World Flute Fest which included appearances by world class flutists Ravichandra Kulur, Carol Alban, Skip Healy and Roger Glenn. A talented lyricist, Alvenson has co-written songs with composer/flutist/vocalist Carol Alban that have been placed in films (Goodbye My Love and Character is Destiny-Dreamweaver Films). His voice has been compared to Nat King Cole and Johnny Mathis but he definitely has a style all his own. A studio album is in the works. Check out his new Youtube video!
